Ingredients

5 scallops

4 stalks of kai lan - thick stems only

1 clove garlic, smashed

4-5 cups cooked rice

1 egg white

1 heaped tbsp of dried mini anchovies

1 stalk green onions (spring onions), chopped

white pepper to taste

salt

pepper

cornflour

Directions

Wash scallops and pat dry so that you can sear properly or moisture will cause scallops to steam. Season scallops lightly with salt, pepper and corn flour.

Heat up 2 tbsp vegetable oil in wok. Medium heat. When oil is hot enough, use tongs to transfer scallops to wok. Sear scallops for 3-5 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown. Set aside.

Cut kai lan stems (at their cross section) into small pieces. Add kai lan pieces and smashed garlic to wok and allow to cook for about 2 minutes. Set aside kai lan, leaving garlic in the wok.

Add cooked rice to wok and use spatula to mix the rice with the tasty brown bits left in the wok by the scallops.

Make a small “well” in the center of the wok. Add egg white and mix well with rice. Add dried mini anchovies and mix well.

Cut scallops into quarters. Transfer scallops, kai lan and green onions to wok. Add a few dashes of white pepper. Mix well and serve.

I have dried scallops which I use very often for Chinese soup. I'll try that with the fried rice next time! I've seen similar recipes using dried scallops. Thanks for the tip!

Awesome recipe! I bought some very large scallops and replaced the anchovies with fish sauce. It turned out great! I also added some thawed peas and diced carrot and what a meal! Thank you for the recipe. I have to try some of your other recipes. I just joined and will post some of my favorites later on this weekend. C-ya TC-Snag
