3209.0. "Scallop Stir-Fry" by MEMIT::KELSEY () Fri Aug 30 1991 12:31

    Scallop Stir-Fry
    
    Ingredients
    
    1/2lb of scallops
    1/2 mushrooms - more if your prefer
    1 package of frozen pea pods
    2-3 cloves garlic
    1 tsp onion powder (opitional)
    2 TBS oil
    1 (lg) of chunked pineapple
    1 bottle of kikomann stir-fry sauce
    
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    
    
    In a wok or pan, heat oil and garlic.  Add scallops and onion 
    powder, cook until tender and white in color.  Add the mushrooms,
    heat for about 2 minutes, then add about 1 cup of the pineapple,
    the juice from the can and the jar of stri-fry sauce.  Defrost
    the pea pods under hot water and set aside.  Heat until sauce
    comes to a boil.  Add pea pods just before serving and stir.
    
    I have served it over rice and pasta - both taste good.  
    
    Options:
    Add steak to the recipe also.
    Use other seafood in place of/or with the scallops.

3209.1Not a recipe, but a methodologyGRACIE::RANDALLFri Sep 20 1991 16:3524
    I don't have any specific recipes, but I can give you my method
    and you can take it from there. Since the scallops require very
    little cooking, I cook my vegitable things first. Then I add the
    scallops, cook for a couple of minutes, add the ending sauce and
    give a few stirs and serve.
    	I like to use carrots, broccoli, peppers, and random vegitables I
    find in my wife's fridge. I ALWAYS start by stir-frying minced
    garlic and minced ginger in about 2 T oil before adding the vegies.
        For a finishing sauce, I frequently use 2T soy, 1T rice-wine vinager
    with a little suger added. I also vary this sauce with imagination.
    The secret of a good stir-fry is not to cook the scallops very
    long, since they tend to toughen when overcooked.
    One thing I avoid is cooking a big batch, but prefer (for instance)
    a serving for two or three.
    	If you have done other stir-frys, you should have no problem.
    When cooking a meat dish, I was taught to cook the meat first, the add
    the vegies. The principle is 'add the thing that requires least
    cooking last'.
    Good Luck,
    Randy
    P.S. I had to invent my own recipes, I couldn't find any in the cook
    books I have.

    .1 can be done the same way with boneless chicken, also.
    
    I use the same types of veggies with garlic and ginger.  I also add
    white wine and serve on top of brown (Texmati) rice.
