Scallops are a type of seafood that are often cooked in a variety of ways. Scallops can be steamed, boiled, grilled, or pan seared. In this recipe, we will be cooking scallops in a stir fry on top of the stove. The scallops will be cooked in a flavorful sauce that will bring out the delicate flavor of the seafood. This dish can be served as a main course or as a side dish.

Ingredients

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

1 pound of fresh or frozen scallops
3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon of grated ginger
1/2 cup of chicken broth
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
2 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

The first step is to prepare the scallops. If you are using frozen scallops, make sure to thaw them before cooking. Rinse the scallops and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Add the scallops and cook for about 2 minutes, or until they are lightly browned.

Add the chicken broth, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sugar, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook until the liquid has reduced by half. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Remove the pan from the heat and serve the scallops with the sauce over cooked rice or noodles. Enjoy!

Make sure not to overcook the scallops. They should be cooked just until they are lightly browned and still tender. If you overcook them, they will become tough and chewy. If you are using frozen scallops, make sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
