How To Cook Scallop Fried Rice

Ingredients

• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
• 10-12 sea scallops, patted dry
• salt and pepper
• 1.5 cup cooked rice (chilled)
• 2 gloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
• 0.5 green onion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan or on medium high heat.
2. Season the scallops with salt and pepper. 
   
   
   
3. Add them to the pan and cook it for 1 minute. They will start to brown and release the juices. 

   

   
   
4. Turn them over once and cook it for another minute. Remove them from the wok and place them on a plate. 

   

   
   
5. Add the frozen vegetables, chilled rice and garlic to the wok. 

   

   
   
6. Saute it on medium heat for about 5 minutes or untill the vegetables are tender. 

   

   
   
7. Push the vegetables and rice to one side of the wok and add the eggs. 

   

   
   
8. Cook it for 3 minutes and stir well so that the eggs are scrambled. Cook for another minute or untill the eggs are cooked through. 

   

   
   
9. Mix the eggs in with the rice mixture. 

   

   
   
10. Add the light soy sauce, green onion and sesame oil. Mix it altogether untill it is heated through. 
11. Push rice to one side of the wok. Add the scallops to the other side. Cook for another minute untill they are fully cooked and browned but take note not to overcook them.
12. Remove it from the heat. Season it with more salt and pepper if desired. 

    
    
13. Serve the scallops mixed in or on top of the fried rice.
