- Dust scallops with Chinese five-spice and add to the pan and cook for a couple of minutes, until they are firm and opaque. Note, do not overcrowd the pan while cooking the scallops. If your pan is not large, cook the scallops in batches. Remove scallops from pan and place on a plate and set aside.
