Ingredients
-
1 tbsp vegetable oil
-
1 medium onion, sliced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 red bell pepper, sliced
-
1 green bell pepper, sliced
-
1 cup broccoli florets
-
1 cup snap peas
-
2 carrots, sliced
-
8 oz fishcakes, sliced
-
8 oz scallops, fresh or thawed
-
2 tbsp soy sauce
-
1 tbsp honey
-
1 tbsp rice vinegar
-
1 tsp sesame oil
-
1/2 tsp black pepper
-
Optional: 1 tsp cornstarch (for thickening sauce)
-
Optional: Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish
-
Optional: Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Add the sliced onion and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
-
Add the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, snap peas, and sliced carrots to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
-
Add the sliced fishcakes and cook for 2-3 minutes, until lightly browned.
-
Add the scallops and cook for 2-3 minutes, until opaque and slightly firm, being careful not to overcook.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper. If using cornstarch for a thicker sauce, mix it with 1 tbsp of water and add to the sauce mixture.
-
Pour the sauce over the stir fry. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly and evenly coats all the ingredients.
-
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley and sesame seeds (if using).
-
Serve immediately, on its own, or over rice or noodles.
Notes
-
Variations: Add other vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or baby corn. For a spicier dish, include chili flakes or sriracha.
-
Preparation Tips: Prepare all ingredients before starting to cook. Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
-
Serving Tips: Serve with brown rice, quinoa, or noodles. A light salad can also complement this dish.
-
Intolerances/Allergies: For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce and ensure fishcakes are gluten-free. For shellfish allergies, omit scallops and consider shrimp or chicken.
