Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The white stem part of chives is thicker and has a sharp bite, so cook it alone first to mellow its pungency and achieve balance.
  • Scallops become rubbery if overcooked. Use the Chinese 'oil-blanching' technique—briefly cooking in hot oil—to keep them tender.
  • Once the chives are in the pan, do not hesitate; stir-fry over maximum heat in a short time to prevent water release and maintain a crisp texture and vibrant green color.

Recommended for

  • For those who want to whip up a luxurious Chinese main dish in under 3 minutes—super fast and easy.
  • For those who want to experience the perfect scallop: moist, tender, and never rubbery.
  • For those who want a light appetizer or side dish with fragrant spring-summer chives and mild scallops in perfect harmony.
