- Ingredients: shopping list
- 20-24 king scallops, cleaned shopping list
- 120 ml/4 fl oz/½ cup olive oil shopping list

How to make it
- Method:
- Place the scallops in a shallow, non-metallic bowl in a single layer. In a clean bowl, mix together half the oil, the lemon rind and juice, chopped herbs and chili and spoon over the scallops. Season well with salt and black pepper, cover and set aside.
- Using a sharp knife, cut each pak choi lengthways into four pieces. Heat a wok over a high heat. When hot, drain the scallops (reservng the marinade) and add to the wok. Cook for 1 minute on each side, or until cooked to your liking.
- Pour the marinade over the scallops and remove the wok from the heat. Transfer the scallops and juices to a platter and keep warm. Wipe out the wok with a piece of kitchen paper.
- Place the wok over a high heat. When all traces of moisture have evaporated, add the remaining oil. When the oil is hot add the pak choi and stir-fry over a high heat for 2-3 minutes, until the leaves wilt.
- Divide the greens among four warmed serving plates, then top with the reserved scallops and their juices and serve immediately.
