Ingredients

  • 1 quart (1 liter ) vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 cup teriyaki glaze
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ pound (225 g ) bacon
  • 1 pound (20–30 ea . / 450 g ) of scallops

Directions

1

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or other pot to 350 °F (180 °C), making sure that the pot is large enough that the oil doesn't fill it more than halfway.

2

Combine teriyaki glaze, soy sauce and sugar in a medium bowl. Set aside.

3

Cut bacon strips in half lengthwise.

4

Wrap each scallop with one of these half strips of bacon, and secure by skewering with a wooden toothpick .

5

Working in batches so as not to crowd the fryer, fry the scallops until golden brown, about 4 minutes.

6

Remove from oil, drain briefly and toss in the soy-teriyaki sauce.

7

Serve immediately.
