Sweet and spicy scallops with bok choy

Ingredients

  • 8 baby bok choy, quartered

  • 16 sea scallops

  • 1/8 tsp salt

  • 4 tsp butter

  • 1/2 cup Thai sweet chili sauce

  • 1 tbsp rice-wine vinegar

Instructions

  • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high. When hot, spray with oil. Add bok choy. (Pan will be full, but bok choy will cook down.) Stir often until tender-crisp, about 3 to 4 min. Remove to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm. Meanwhile, pat scallops dry, sprinkle with salt and season with fresh pepper.

  • Melt butter in pan over medium. Add scallops (cook in two batches if needed). Cook 2 min, flip and cook 1 to 2 more min. If butter turns dark, reduce heat slightly. Remove scallops to platter beside bok choy and tent with foil.

  • Add sweet chili sauce, 1/4 cup water and vinegar to pan. Boil, stirring until thickened slightly, about 1 to 2 min. Pour sauce over scallops and bok choy. Serve with rice.

Prep Tip:

Frozen scallops leave a white liquid in the pan after being cooked, so wipe out the pan before making the sauce.
