Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add fishcake slices and cook until golden brown on both sides (about 2-3 minutes). Remove and set aside.

  4. Add garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the pan. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the bell peppers and snap peas. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender yet crisp.
  6. Return the fishcakes and scallops to the pan.
  7. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, sesame oil, and cornstarch slurry. Pour over the stir-fry.
  8. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
  9. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds.
  10. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

  • If using frozen scallops, ensure they are fully thawed and patted dry before cooking.
  • Adjust spice levels by increasing or omitting the red pepper flakes.
  • Serve with jasmine rice or stir-fried noodles for a complete meal.
