Looking for delicious and healthy Chinese seafood recipes? Look no further. Try out this stir-fry scallop where you could also serve with Oriental bean thread noodles instead of rice. After cooking, the brittle, wire-thin strands become translucent. You can look for bean thread noodles in the international foods section of most supermarkets or in Oriental food stores.

Cooking Tip: When purchasing fresh bay scallops, count on about 40 to the pound. Since they are highly perishable, cook scallops within 2 days of purchase. Before cooking, always rinse the scallops well to remove sand and grit.
