How to Sear Scallops? Right heat, a cast iron wok and good spice rub!

November 3, 2022 By Eleanor Hoh Leave a Comment

How to sear scallops? You need right heat, a cast iron wok and a good spice rub! 

SAVE this cause you’ll want to know how to sear these scallops‼️

3 SECRETS HOW TO SEAR SCALLOPS…

• RIGHT HEAT
• CAST IRON WOK OR SKILLET
• GOOD SPICE RUB

So, what’s the Right Heat?

I was using my Nuwave stove at 375, so medium high on Iwatani gas stove. Any lower and the scallops will ‘sweat’ so not searing and will become soggy and soft. You want them to be crispy on the outside but succulent inside. Same for stir frying any meat.

Why cast iron?

Cast iron is the best material for cooking anything! I think you’ve heard me mention this a thousand times and that’s why I made a commitment to bring you the best lightweight, thin walled cast iron wok. You can find out more about the benefits of using a cast iron wok here. You’ll also find out why you should NOT use nonstick pans or woks which cannot withstand heat above medium as well as the dangers of their toxic material. It’s the main reason many have not succeeded in stir frying!

Good Spice Rub

I use spice rubs nearly on a daily basis. It’s such a simple way to add FLAVOR to your dishes. Just avoid spices with fillers or MSG. Here’s my post with 4 tips to add flavor to any dish.

Ready to see how I seared those scallops?

These wild caught sea scallops were fabulous, plump and weren’t mushy like many I’ve tried. So juicy, tender and delicious. Quick to defrost too, overnight in fridge. 

Scallops have lots of healthy nutrients like omega 3 fatty acids, the best kind of fat. Also magnesium and B12. Visit Healthline for more health benefits to eating scallops! 

My hubby couldn’t stop complimenting me! The best part about cooking? Knowing you can control what’s going into your food and how food affects your health, food is medicine!

Can’t wait to hear how you do searing scallops in your wok!

If you’re still not on Instagram, you’re missing out on all my lovely healthy meal ideas. Often, I’ll show how to cook quick, easy and healthy dinners, it’s what we all want for weeknights!

Drop ❤️ if you love scallops like I do…

Note: I attended a press event for Wild Fork Aventura store and gifted a gorgeous array of meats including these scallops and other goodies, more to come.

Amazing Ways and Places Wok Stars Use Their Wok Star Kits!

November 2, 2022 By Eleanor Hoh Leave a Comment

I LOVE all the amazing ways and places Wok Stars use their WOK STAR KITS! Being a Wok Star encompasses more than just cooking, it’s about creating memories and helping people become less reliant on recipes and most importantly, creating a fun way to cook and eat healthier. If you treat cooking like a ‘Healthy Hobby” instead of a “diet”, then it’ll be something you WANT to do rather than HAVE to do, right?

I’m so happy Wok Stars and I continue to be in touch and keep up with their successes. These are only some of hundreds of fabulous comments I get from Wok Stars. If you’re a Wok Star, do email me.

My WOK STAR KIT and gas stove is a traveling kitchen, you can cook anywhere…
