Ingredients

• 1 pound sea scallops
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 stalks green onions
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sea scallops under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels. If necessary, remove the tough side muscle.

Step 2

Peel and mince the fresh ginger into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves. Thinly slice the green onions and red bell pepper.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Mix well to form a smooth sauce and set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Step 5

Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Sear the scallops for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove scallops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir in the ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the red bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly softened.

Step 8

Return the scallops to the skillet. Pour in the sauce and stir well to coat the scallops and vegetables evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the dish with sliced green onions.

Step 10

Serve the Ginger Stir Fried Scallops hot over steamed rice or as desired.
