Cook scallop meat without shells, if fresh, wait 3 - 5 minutes after boiling. If it's dried, soak it in warm water for 12 hours or more to cook, and wait 3 - 5 minutes after the pot opens.

Then it depends on what kind of pot you cook it in:

If it's a pressure cooker it's ready in a few minutes

If it's a normal pot it's 20 minutes to half an hour!

I can't say exactly, I've seen my girlfriend cook the beanstalks for about twenty minutes,

The beanstalks that don't get cooked and poisoned are wide beanstalks, right?
