SEARED BOK CHOY
Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds. Add the bok choy cut-side down and cook, continuing to stir the garlic to keep it from burning but without moving the bok choy to get a nice even sear, until the bok choy is dark brown on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce, soy molasses or oyster sauce and a few tablespoons of water. Serve immediately or cover and hold in the skillet until ready to serve.
- Combine the soy sauce, molasses, sesame oil, garlic, ginger powder, fish sauce, rice wine vinegar and honey in a saucepan on medium-high heat. Bring to a slight boil, whisking or stirring constantly. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside.

Tips:
- Use high-quality scallops. Fresh, sea scallops are the best choice for this recipe. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly briny smell.
- Sear the scallops properly. Searing the scallops gives them a nice golden-brown crust and helps to lock in their natural juices. Be sure to sear the scallops in a hot pan with a little bit of oil.
- Don't overcook the scallops. Scallops are very delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they are opaque in the center.
- Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables will give your dish the best flavor. If you can, use organic vegetables whenever possible.
- Make sure the sauce is flavorful. The sauce is an important part of this dish, so make sure it is flavorful. Use a good quality hoisin sauce and add some additional ingredients to taste, such as ginger, garlic, and sesame oil.
Conclusion:
This seared coriander scallops with bok choy and hoisin sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The scallops are seared to perfection and the bok choy and hoisin sauce are a perfect complement. Serve this dish with some steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
