I bought some bay scallops when it was on sales for buy one gets one free. I loved to buy it to substitute for chicken breasts. I was thinking hard on how to cook the bay scallops and came out with this dish. The deep-fried tofu was a great addition in this dish as it soaked up the flavor and sauce of green curry and went very well with rice. Now I am curious, how do you normally prepare the bay scallops since it's so small?
Ingredients:
1 cup Bay Scallops
8-10 Deep-fried Tofu (taufu pok), sliced like above picture (get it at Asian Store)
1/2 cup Frozen peas and carrots, thawed or frozen
2-3 Tbsp. Thai green curry paste
1 tsp. sugar
Cooking oil
About 1/2 cup of water
Method:
In a wok, heat up oil. When heated, add in bay scallops. Stir-fry until almost cooked, add in deep-fried tofu, peas & carrots. Stir-fry for a little while and then add in the green curry paste, a little water and sugar. Stir-well to mix. Serve hot.
Usually we just 'stir-fry' with shrimps, carrots, celery with oyster sauce.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how to cook bay scallops...but I love to eat scallops..hehehe, that doesn't count, no?:P
ReplyDeleteif i hv this bay scallops on hand, i usually stir fry it with prawn, add in slice onion, use sambal belacan paste. Alternatively, i will oso dump in some bay scallops when i cook Tom Yam soup! as it is seafood, the more varieties of seafood u hv in your tomyam soup, the better! Try it out!
