Meanwhile, pour oil into a wok. Preheat over medium-high heat. Add carrots and garlic; stir-fry for 4 minutes. Add sugar peas and green onions; stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove vegetables from wok. Cool wok for 1 minute.

Carefully add white grape juice, the 1/3 cup water, dill, bouillon granules and crushed red pepper to wok. Bring to boiling. Add scallops, reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for about 2 minutes or until scallops are opaque, stirring often.
