Steps:
- Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. When hot, spray with oil. Add bok choy (it will cook down). Stir often until tender-crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, pat scallops dry, sprinkle with salt and season with fresh pepper.
- Melt butter in pan over medium. Add scallops (in 2 batches if necessary). Cook 2 minutes and flip to cook other side for 1 to 2 more minutes. If butter turns dark, turn heat down slightly. Only cook for 1 minute per side if using the small scallops.
- Remove scallops to platter, on top of bok choy and tent with foil.
- Add sweet chili sauce, water and vinegar to pan. Boil, stirring until thickened slightly, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour sauce over scallops and bok choy. Serve with rice.
SPICY BOK CHOY IN GARLIC SAUCE
Bok Choy is one of my favorite vegetables. It has its own spiciness that is complimented by the sweetness of the sauce in this recipe. I like to serve this with grilled shrimp and steamed rice. For variety, I sometimes add a small amount of lemon zest just before serving.

Steps:
- Trim off the ends of the bok choy and chop, keeping the white parts separate from the green as they will need to cook longer. Rinse and spin or pat dry. Set aside.
- In a small bowl or cup, stir together the vegetable oil and sesame oil. In a separate larger bowl, stir together the water, ginger, garlic, oyster sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar and red pepper flakes. Set this aside.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the bok choy stems first; stir fry for a few minutes or until the pieces start to turn a pale green. When stems are almost cooked, add the leaves; cook and stir until leaves are wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer the bok choy to a serving dish. Pour the sauce into the skillet or wok, and set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened slightly, about 3 minutes. Pour over the bok choy and toss lightly to coat.

SCALLOPS AND BOK CHOY WITH BALSAMIC SAUCE
Steps:
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the scallops in a single layer with some space between the pieces (so they don't steam). Cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally after 30 seconds. (If the scallops were frozen, they may need to cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes to evaporate the extra liquid they release.)
- Stir in the remaining ingredients except the vinegar. Cook, covered, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the scallops are cooked through (white and opaque, not translucent, in the center), stirring occasionally. Watch carefully; scallops become rubbery when overcooked by even 1 or 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the scallop mixture to a serving platter. Cover to keep warm.
- Add the vinegar to the liquid in the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by half. Pour over the scallops.
- Cook's Tip on Scallops
- When scallops are called for, you can use either sea or bay scallops. Bay scallops (as many as 40 per pound) are milder-and more expensive-than sea scallops (12 to 15 per pound). To substitute sea scallops for bay, cut the sea scallops in halves, quarters, or slices.
- Cook's Tip on Bok Choy
- Look for bok choy, with its long white stalks and large dark green leaves, near the cabbage in the produce section. Slices of raw bok choy stalks add a pleasant crunch to salads. Both the stalks and the leaves are good in stir-fry dishes and soups.
