Scallops With Ginger Sauce
Cooked with a little help from my Mom
My energy levels come and go in waves. Thursday I have treatment — either chemotherapy or immunotherapy or both. So Thursday I have no energy. I come home from the hospital and just go to bed. Friday and Saturday I need a lot of rest.
By Sunday I have some energy so I can cook simple things like omelettes. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday I have a bit more energy and I can make things a little fancier.
I still have to go slow, however.
If I have to chop veggies, I’ll take breaks. Sometimes I ask my Mom to help. She is always happy to do so.
So today I wanted to make something yummy but knew I’d need help. I asked Mom if she minded chopping veggies and she was glad to do it. I had some scallops a friend had given me months ago that were in my freezer, so I thawed them out. I finally had the energy to cook them.
Mom chopped up onions, carrots, zucchini and yellow squash for me. When she was done, I shredded fresh ginger with a grater. I also soaked some red Vietnamese noodles.
This was a healthy meal with lots of veggies and healthy oils, seafood, and a small amount of noodles.
If you’d like to make it, here is the general idea. But feel free to make whatever…
