Place the frozen green peas in a microwave-safe bowl and defrost them using the microwave’s “Defrost” setting for 7 minutes. Check if fully thawed; if not, defrost for a few more minutes.
Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the scallops and cook, stirring periodically, for another 5 minutes, or until they turn opaque and are no longer translucent.
Stir in the defrosted green peas, soy sauce, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook for an additional 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more soy sauce if needed.
Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
If you like more heat, add more red pepper flakes or use chili oil.
Serve this stir-fry with steamed rice for a complete meal.
