Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 pound scallops, cleaned
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, divided
4 ounces bean sprouts
4 rice spring roll wrappers, soaked in water until pliable
8 yellow chile peppers, julienned
2 scallions, julienned
1 carrot, julienned
1 yellow zucchini, julienned
4 ounces crab meat
Tropical Fruit Salad, recipe follows
1 cup chopped papaya
1/2 cup chopped mango
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon honey
Sprig fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Pat scallops dry completely. Toss the scallops and 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce together in a bowl. In a medium nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat, add the scallops and cook until opaque in color, turning occasionally. Remove the scallops. In another small saute pan over medium-high heat, add the bean sprouts. Add the remaining hoisin sauce and saute the bean sprouts until they are warmed through, but still crispy. Remove the sprouts and let cool.
  • Place the pliable spring roll wrappers on a clean surface. Divide the scallions, carrots, zucchini, and crab meat evenly among the wrappers. Fold the sides in, then roll the wrapper up, like a burrito, so the filling can't fall out. Serve the spring rolls with the Tropical Fruit Salad.
  • Mix the papaya, mango, lemon juice, ginger, and honey in a bowl. Toss to combine well. Garnish with cilantro.
