How to Make Scallop Saute With Angel Hair

  1. Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot.
  2. While the water heats, prepare the cabbage: Stack several cabbage leaves together and thinly slice crosswise into 1/4-inch wide strips. (About 4 cups)
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
  4. Add 2 green onions, thinly sliced, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Cook, stirring frequently, until garlic is fragrant and just beginning to brown (about 1 minute).
  5. Add 1 pound scallops. Cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque and white, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside, reserving any accumulated liquid.
  6. Add 1 cup shredded cabbage, 1 cup bean sprouts, 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1 tablespoon ketchup, and a pinch of black pepper to the skillet.
  7. Cook, stirring frequently, over high heat until vegetables are tender-crisp and only 3-4 tablespoons of liquid remain (about 5 minutes).
  8. Add 8 ounces angel hair pasta to the boiling water. Cook according to package directions until al dente, usually 2-3 minutes. Drain.
  9. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked scallops and any reserved liquid.
  10. Gently stir to combine, cooking just until the scallops are heated through (about 1-2 minutes).
