make it

3. Stir in the leeks and peas and cook, stirring, for another 2 minutes.
4. Add the bamboo shoots and return the scallops to the wok.
5. Stir in the soy sauce, orange juice and sugar and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Notes
Frozen scallops should be added at the end of cooking to prevent them from breaking up. Also, use the skirt of the scallops for making stock. Don't overcook.
