Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 ounces whole red, yellow or orange peppers, or 14 ounces thinly sliced ready-cut peppers (4 cups)
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons salted black beans
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon fresh or frozen ginger
4 scallions
10 ounces scallops

Steps:

  • Wash, trim, seed and thinly slice whole peppers.
  • Heat oil in a wok or nonstick skillet. Saute peppers in hot oil while preparing the rest of the dish.
  • Rinse the black beans under running water; then, mash them slightly with one tablespoon of the sherry.
  • Mince the garlic; grate the ginger; wash, trim and slice scallions.
  • Add the beans, garlic, ginger and remaining sherry to the peppers, and stir for 10 seconds.

I've tried this recipe a few times and I'm still not sure I'm doing it right. The scallops always seem to come out a bit overcooked.
