Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using 16 oz. petite scallops, follow same instructions as 8 oz., working in batches if necessary. 

  • If using diced chicken thighs, pat dry. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor.

  • If using shrimp, pat dry. Cook until pink and shrimp reach minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes per side.

  • If using steak strips, pat dry, coarsely chop, then separate pieces. Stir occasionally until steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes.

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    Bring a small pot with rice and 1 1/4 cups water to a boil.

    Once boiling, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

    Remove from burner and set aside.

    While rice cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Remove any discolored outer leaves from bok choy and trim ends. Cut stems into 1/2" slices and coarsely chop leaves. Keep stems and leaves separate.

    Remove stem, seeds, and ribs, and cut bell pepper into 1/2" dice.

    Pat scallops dry and season all over with umami seasoning. Scallops will vary in amount as they are portioned by weight. Don't worry, the sweet flavor and tender texture will be the same.

  3. 3

    Cook the Scallops

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Let heat, 3 minutes.

    Add scallops to hot pan and cook undisturbed, 90 seconds.

    After 90 seconds, stir occasionally until scallops reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 60-90 seconds.

    Remove from burner and transfer to a plate. Wipe pan clean and return to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Cook Vegetables and Finish Dish

    Add 2 tsp. olive oil, bell peppers, carrots, and 1/4 cup water to hot pan. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, cover and cook until water is mostly evaporated and vegetables are slightly tender, 3-5 minutes.

    Uncover and add bok choy stems and garlic sesame sauce. Stir often until vegetables are tender, 2-3 minutes.

    Add bok choy leaves and scallops. Stir often until bok choy leaves are wilted and scallops are coated in sauce, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping rice with scallops and vegetables and garnishing with sesame seeds and rice noodles. Bon appétit!
