CHICKEN AND SCALLOP STIR FRY
Originally this recipe came from Recipezaar's "Stir Fry Scallops" But I didn't have a lot of the ingredients so it ended up being very different! I loved the outcome and thought it would be best just to post a separate variation to that recipe. We ate it with rice but my family had suggested they would have liked it with rice noodles also. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did :)

LADY LINDA'S DELIGHTFUL SHRIMP AND SCALLOP STIR-FRY
Steps:
- Toss the scallops with the ginger, red pepper flakes, seafood seasoning, fish sauce, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in a bowl. Cover, and marinate 30 minutes.
- Heat half of the oil in a wok over high heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until it begins to brown, about 30 seconds.

Pour into the wok, and stir until thickened. Remove to a bowl.

Tips:
- Choose the right scallops. Look for dry-packed scallops that are firm and plump. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong odor.
- Sear the scallops properly. Searing the scallops creates a nice crust and helps to keep them juicy. To do this, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.
- Don't overcook the scallops. Scallops are best when they are cooked quickly and remain slightly translucent in the center. Overcooked scallops will be tough and chewy.
- Use a variety of vegetables. Stir-fries are a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and snow peas.
- Add flavor with sauce. A simple stir-fry sauce can really elevate the dish. Try using a combination of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
Conclusion:
Scallop stir-fries are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. By following these tips, you can create a flavorful and healthy dish that the whole family will enjoy.
