Stir-Fried Scallops
Scallop meat has a tender, delicate texture, and is delicious prepared steamed, stir-fried, or in other quick cooking methods. For this recipe, we’ve added signature Sichuan-style pickled vegetables, with pickled chili peppers mixed in: these cut any fishy odor and boost overall flavor for an exceptionally tasty result. Pre-cleaned, ready-to-use scallop meat is widely available at most large supermarkets. The key to making this dish delicious is simply removing any residual fishy smell from the scallops before cooking.
