Ingredients:
3/4 pound fresh bay scallops
2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
2 tablespoons dry white wine
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon sugar
3 small dried whole red chili peppers
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 teaspoons slivered fresh ginger root
1/2 pound fresh snow peas, trimmed and cut diagonally in half

Instructions
Directions:
Sear scallops in a hot pan brushed with oil, just 1-2 minutes per side.
Combine soy sauce, wine, cornstarch, sugar and 3/4 cup water.
Cut each chili pepper open lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Heat vegetable oil in hot wok or large skillet over medium heat; add chilies and stir-fry 30 seconds. Remove chilies.
Heat chili oil over high heat. Add onion and ginger; stir-fry 1 minute. Add snow peas; stir-fry 2 minutes longer. Add scallops, chilies and soy sauce mixture; cook and stir until sauce boils and thickens.
Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil. Serve immediately.
