1 tablespoon cornstarch
Vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Rinse scallops in cold water 3 or 4 times; drain thoroughly. Pat scallops dry with paper towel. Mix 1/2 teaspoon salt, the white pepper, sesame oil, egg white and 1 tablespoon cornstarch in medium bowl; stir in scallops. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.

Stir scallops into batter until well coated. Fry 8 scallops at a time 2 minutes or until light brown, turning occasionally; drain on paper towels.
