This month for our Virtual Supper Club, Jerry challenged us to make a dish for under 300 calories . . . or was that 300 calories for the whole meal??
I'm not sure, but with this Cooking Light Recipe I am well under the mark either way.
Except. . . I could eat a whole pan of these.
I do like the idea of serving each on an individual spoon ~ one bite appetizers.
Chinese Scallops
1 Tbs vegetable oil
1 Tbs sesame oil
1# large scallops
1Tbs soy sauce
2 Tbs chives
1 Tbs toasted sesame seeds
Fresh cilantro
Sriracha chili sauce (optional)
Heat oils in a large (not nonstick) frying pan over high heat. Add scallops and cook, turning once, until starting to brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Set each scallop on a spoon and drizzle with 1/4 tsp. soy sauce; then sprinkle with some green onion and sesame seeds.
Top with a cilantro leaf
The secret with scallops is to get a good sear. Don't be tempted to crowd the pan, and the oil should be hot. Turn them once!
These are only 70 calories per serving. The optional sriracha is 5 calories per teaspoon . . . but a little dab 'L do ya.
These little bites are packed with flavor.
Now . . . let's see what everyone else has brought for our lo-cal feast.
Jerry has made Chiang Mai Pork Patties
Val is making a Double Tomato Soup
Susan is bringing Two Potato Gratin
Sara is making a Pumpkin Pie Pudding.
Y'all enjoy ~

Delish! I'd have trouble stopping at one! Three or four would probably be my modus operandi!
Great starter!
I have been waiting for this dish Sandi. With the rich flavour of scallops it is good to know we can indulge and still keep our hips intact.
I love seafood, but scallops have always been at the bottom of the list of "likes." However, this recipe looks delicious! I may just have to go round up some scallops and give it a try!
Thanks for the recipe.
These look amazing Sandi - and they would have been a fine addition to the Asian feast that Paul and I had.
Nice I already have that hot sauce I should try this one!
