Heat half the peanut oil in the wok and add spring onions, garlic and ginger, stirring for 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add soy sauce, peas and asparagus and toss 30 seconds to coat.
Remove vegetables to a serving platter and drizzle with sesame oil.
Heat remaining peanut oil in a wok and sear the scallops for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden. Put cooked scallops onto a plate with sesame seeds and dip to coat each side.
