Instructions

Heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat in a large pan. Add the fishcakes and cook, flipping halfway through, until golden brown on both sides (4 to 5 minutes per side). Remove and cut into bite-size pieces.

Heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat in the same pan. Sprinkle the scallops with salt and pepper. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan.

Return the sesame oil to the pan. Add garlic, ginger, and green onions and stir-fry for about 1 minute.

Add the bell peppers, snap peas, and carrots. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, or until crisp-tender.

Return the fishcake pieces and scallops to the pan. Add the soy sauce, lemon juice, and red chili flakes (if using). Toss to coat evenly.

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

Serve over steamed rice or noodles, if desired. Garnish with chopped cilantro.

Notes

Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or broccoli.

Adjust the amount of chili flakes to your preference.

If using homemade fishcakes, ensure they are pre-cooked before adding to the stir-fry.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
