4 servings
- 1 ½ lb large sea scallops, side muscle removed, patted dry
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp neutral oil, divided (such as avocado oil or canola oil)
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
For the sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- 3 tbsp tamari
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
For serving
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes (if using) until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Set aside.

Pat the scallops thoroughly dry with paper towels, then season both flat sides with the salt and pepper. Dry scallops are essential for a proper sear — any surface moisture will cause steaming instead of browning.
