Scallop Chop Suey Recipe

Scallop Chop Suey is another variation of the popular chop suey recipe. Instead of using the traditional ingredients, I used scallops along with the usual vegetables. This dish is really amazing.

Preparing Scallop chop suey is not as complicated as the regular chop suey. Since we are dealing only with seafood and vegetables, the cooking time is short and the procedure is very simple. Although this requires less time and ingredients, the outcome of this recipe is something that I can really be proud of.

I started out by sautéing the garlic and onion. The scallops were added afterwards. Once the scallops are half done, I added the veggies starting from the harder ones. Harder veggies such as carrots and cauliflower take more time to cook compare to greens. Adding them a few minutes before the soft vegetables will prevent the later from sagging. Adding Quail eggs make the dish taste better.

This can be enjoyed with a cup of delicious fried rice.
