Tender scallops and crunchy cashews star at dinnertime tonight! This recipe calls for sea scallops, which are about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. You could also use their sweeter, smaller relative, the bay scallop. —Joe Hable of Madison, Wisconsin
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) vegetable broth
