Tasty scallops dish requires very little cooking
Sweet, plump scallops flavor this quick fried rice. Scallops, which need very little cooking, should be prepared so that the inside remains creamy. Prolonged cooking will shrink and toughen them. The secret to searing the scallops is to pat them dry with a paper towel and to make sure your skillet is very hot. They only need to sear for 2 minutes for this dish.
Using microwaveable brown rice means this meal can be ready in less than 10 minutes.
