Stir Fried Scallops with Vegetables
I love how easy stir frying can be, everything is cooked in one pan or a wok. Scallops and stir fried vegetables served with rice and topped off with your favorite stir fry sauce makes this a complete meal.
Ingredients
Rinse the scallops.
Using paper towels,
pat the scallops dry.
Season the scallops with
the salt and pepper.
Put the cornstarch in a 2 cup bowl.
Pour the vegetable broth into the
cornstarch and whisk until smooth.
Heat the wok over high heat for
1 minute or until hot. Add the
butter and swirl until melted.
Add the scallops cooking until a
light brown. Try not to let the
scallops touch as they are cooking.
Turn over and brown the other side.
Remove them and place in a
large bowl, set aside.
Reduce heat to medium high and add
the vegetable broth, bamboo shoots,
water chestnuts and snap peas.
Stir fry for a couple of minutes
until the vegetables are hot
and sauce gets thick.
Remove the wok from the heat and
mix in the spicy sauce, I used 1/2
cup of the sauce but I like it spicy.
Add the mixture to the large bowl
with the scallops and toss to combine.
Serve immediately with rice.

I just love your recipes and the pics are awesome! Sorry have not commented sooner – we just lost our older sister Micky a week before her birthday – totally unexpected – so it has taken me a bit to get back into the swing of things. Thanx for all the yummy food ideas!
I am so sorry for your loss! I’m glad you are getting back in the swing of things, that will help. Thank you for your nice comment and I’m glad you are enjoying my recipes. Have a great weekend!
I tend to forget about bamboo shoots. They really do add a lot to an Oriental dish. I should rekindle that staple.
Virtual hugs,
Judie
I love bamboo shoots and water chestnuts! Virtual hugs to you Judilyn! Have a great weekend!
Mmmmm – water chestnuts, chicken liver, wrapped in bacon, and then broiled to crispiness . . . yes, please!!! ;->
Hahaha you’re killing me! Yum!
That is a perfect meal , Looks delicious !!
Thanks! Guess what’s for lunch….leftovers!
Oh my gosh! I love scallops and have been looking for a good recipe. Thank you!
You’re welcome! I was shocked at the price where I live…Ohio. Just over $20.00 a pound! I need to move south..hahahaha
When I looked a couple of weeks ago, they were $26 a pound. But they are Sooooo good!
Right and well worth a special meal!
Yummy! Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome Chantel!
I love the delicate taste of scallops! I’ll have to give this a try, thanks 🙂
Me too but they are so darn expensive in Ohio! Every now and then I have to buy them though…lol

It really was…Thanks!
Looks really good and healthy!

Thank you Linda! Happy holidays to you and your family as well!
Looks like a scrumptious meal !!
Thanks so much Jyo! It was really good!
So many delicious things on one plate!
Thanks Matt!
Thank you!
I love scallops but they are so hard to cook without them becoming rubbery. I shall try this one, but not so much hot sauce for me.
The scallops I used where huge. They really weren’t rubbery, maybe because of the size? They were very good though.
No, it is because you cooked them properly.
☺️
yum!! Scallops are some of my favorites- I haven’t made them in a long time. thanks for sharing, Diane!
You are so welcome Mackenzie!
Hi Diane,
My husband is the main cook in our house. He tried this recipe and it was absolutely scrumptious! He is going to make it again – with my blessing. It is the perfect recipe for an Australian summer evening: delectable without being overfilling.
Thank you for adding another fabulous recipe to our household diet!

Aw thank you so much for telling me! I am so glad you liked it, I know I do! Have a great weekend!
I neglected to mention (in my first comment) that this dish hits a variety of senses: particularly the visual aspect of the scallops and water chestnuts both being white and of a similar size, yet having such contrasting texture: the water chestnuts are so crunchy and the melt-in-your-mouth scallops are so soft. It adds a lot of pleasure to the eating!
OMG I thought that too. I love the crunch as well. The bamboo shoots are the other texture that I love. Thank you so much. It is people like you that make these recipes worth all the work!
I like your devotion to all this cooking and sharing. It’s all clockwork. A happy ritual!
Thank you, Diane! Congratulations on being Grandma, and wishing you happy holidays and a warm Christmas!
Thank you so much viv!!! You are very kind.
Being a New Englander, scallops are among my favorite foods! Right now, the delicious little Nantucket Bay scallops are in season and absolutely delicious!
You’re killing me, Diane! This looks fabulous. I’m a scallop girl! And it’s good for your cholesterol. Right? Lie to me if it’s not! Thanks for the delicious recipe! Can’t wait to try this one! Hugs, C
Thank you Cheryl. All seafood is good right? At least the seafood I make is! 😂
