4 tablespoons safflower oil
1 inch knob unpeeled fresh ginger -- thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic -- mashed
1/2 pound scallops -- cut into slices
3 tablespoons flour -- seasoned
1 small red pepper -- sliced
white part of 1 leek -- sliced
2 small carrots -- finely grated

2 heads belgian endive -- sliced

2 cloves garlic -- finely mashed
1 tablespoon dark red oriental sesame oil
salt and pepper

Heat dry wok, heavy skillet, or sauté pan 1 to 2 minutes. Then add 1
tablespoon
oil, and heat over high flame until hot but not smoking, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Place first batch of ginger and garlic in hot oil, stir, and remove after 1 min
ute. This step flavors the oil. Discard ginger and garlic.

Toss scallops in flour mixture just before cooking. Add 1 tablespoon oil to wok
, and heat until very hot. Place half the scallops in oil and stir-fry 45 secon
ds to 1 minute. Remove and place on warm plate. Add 1 more tablespoon oil, heat
, and cook remaining scallops. Remove.

Add remaining tablespoons oil, heat, stir in half the vegetables (except ginger
and garlic), stir-fry 30 seconds to 1 minute, and remove. Reheat oil, and stir
-fry remaining vegetables. Remove.

Let oil reheat slightly, add ginger and garlic, and cook 1 minute. Add sesame o
il along with already cooked scallops and vegetables. Stir-fry about 1 minute,
tossing to reheat and mix ingredients evenly. Add salt and pepper. Serve immedi
ately after soup.


Notes: All the ingredients in stir-fry dishes must be very thinly and uniformly
sliced (1/4-inch widths) to cook evenly in less than a minute. Small shrimp, a
lready-cooked lobster slices, or monkfish may be substituted.
