Ingredients

• 450 grams Sea scallops
• 250 grams Sugar snap peas
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 pieces Green onions, sliced thinly
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and black pepper on both sides. Set aside.

Step 2

Mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water in a small bowl. Stir well and set the sauce aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sea scallops in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden-brown. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary. Remove the scallops from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sugar snap peas. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked scallops to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the scallops and sugar snap peas. Toss everything together and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients evenly.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
