Sea Scallop Stir Fry

This was a quick and easy meal to cook up... We got back from the playground a little late and I thought supper as going to be late too, but I whipped it right up and we were actually still sitting down to eat at our normal time! :) The kids were super happy about this since they were STARVING... It had a great taste to eat and my kids ate it pretty well.
