Truffle Oil Stir Fry

This evening I did a delicious stir fry with scallops, broccoli, cauliflower and baby bell peppers. Cooking stir fry without soy sauce was at first unrealistic to me, then a friend of mine recommended Truffle Oil. Truffle oil, extracted from truffles, though very expensive, also goes a very long way--you really only need one tiny drop to flavor a full dish.
