Marinate scallops for 1 hr. in egg white, salt, pepper, cornstarch & 1-2

beginning to smoke, add scallops, stirring so they separate. After 1-2
minutes, drain them through colander, reserving 2-3 tbs. oil. Return
reserved oil to wok, add all vegetables, stir-frying or flipping the wok
2-3 minutes. Drain again, reserving 1 tbs. oil. Again, return reserved oil
to wok. Stir-fry garlic & ginger several seconds & add chicken broth, dry
sherry, salt, pepper & cornstarch mixture. When it thickens, return
scallops & vegetables to wok & allow them to become hot. Serve.

Note: Make sure all sand is removed from scallops so they are not gritty.
Make certain cooking oil is fresh so scallops remain white.
