Instructions
In a food processor, blend the egg white with the soy sauce, scallion, ginger, vegetable oil, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt and pepper.
Add all but 3 of the scallops and process to a coarse paste. Scrape the paste into a bowl.
Cut the remaining scallops into 1/2-inch dice and fold them into the paste. Cover and refrigerate.
In a large saucepan, combine the broth with the lemon zest, garlic, soy sauce, ginger and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
Remove from the heat and discard the lemon zest and garlic.
Add the snow peas and cabbage and bring to a simmer.
Drop scant tablespoons of the scallop paste into the broth, then cover and simmer over low heat until the dumplings are just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Ladle into bowls, top with the garnishes and serve.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Noir
Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, and Pinot Noir are my top picks for Scallops. Chardonnay and chenin blanc are great matches for grilled or seared scallops. If your scallops are being matched with bacon or other cured meats, try a lightly chilled pinot noir. One wine you could try is Laguna Winery Russian River Chardonnay. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 29 dollars.

Laguna Winery Russian River Chardonnay
Nestled in the heart of the Russian River Valley, Laguna Ranch Vineyard has been home to world-class Chardonnay for the past 30 years. The vineyard owes its long growing season to the cool fog that rolls in from the Pacific Ocean, giving our Chardonnay grapes a delicate balance between crisp acidity and ripe fruit flavors. An elegant expression of its namesake vineyard, Laguna Ranch Vineyard Chardonnay is an exceptionally well-balanced and luxurious wine. Opens with notes of apple, pear, quince and tangerine, framed by sweet undertones of Asian spice. Well balanced and rich, this Chardonnay has an expressive mouthfeel and a layered, lingering finish.
