Coconut Peanut Stir Fry with Scallops




I love this dish because it's a cross between pad thai and stir fry. Ingredients are pretty basic, whatever vegetables you have to add, some sort of meat, and noodles or rice. I prefer rice noodles but any sort of lo mein or spaghetti can work. The sauce can be used as a salad dressing as well.

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 lb of fresh sea scallops
  • vegetable oil
  • salt
  • pepper
  • garlic
  • noodles
  • baby corn
  • baby bok choy
  • fresh broccoli
  • green onion
  • cilantro
  • egg

Sauce:
  • crunchy peanut butter
  • coconut milk
  • soy sauce
  • rice vinegar
  • lime juice
  • red pepper flakes
  • garlic
  • brown sugar
  • salt
  • pepper
Directions:

For sauce:
  • Melt peanut butter and coconut milk over heat
  • Add sugar and other flavorings
  • Thin with water if necessary
For stir fry:
  • Boil water for pasta
  • Chop vegetables into 1" pieces
  • Heat the oil in a non stick pan
  • Sautee vegetables
  • Add soy sauce as necessary to vegetables
  • Rinse scallops
  • Salt, pepper and garlic scallops
  • In a separate pan heat oil
  • Cook until translucent
  • Toss drained pasta in sauce and serve with vegetables and scallops

Enjoy!
