How to Julienne Vegetables

Method

  • Combine the olive oil, seasoning, lemon juice and zest and fresh ginger together in a bowl to make a marinade. Place the scallops in the marinade and toss to coat them evenly. Set aside the scallops to marinate for 3-4 hours.

  • Cut the carrot, capsicum and cucumber into fine matchsticks (julienne) and toss them in a large bowl with the snow pea shoots and parsley.

  • In a jar, combine the avocado oil, pink ginger slices and juice and fish sauce. Season to taste.

  • Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and sear the scallops for 3-4 minutes, turning them when they are plumped up and opaque.

  • Toss the dressing through the salad and arrange portions on serving plates. Top the salad with the seared scallops and garnish with a little of the extra pink ginger.
