GARLIC STEAMED SCALLOPS OVER GLASS NOODLE 蒜茸粉絲蒸扇貝

Steps:

• Clean the scallops in running water, getting rid of any sand and the extra bits such as the frill and the black colored stomach.
• Detach the whole thing from the shell by using a spoon to scoop along the shell under the scallop so that the meat comes off completely.
• Arrange scallop and scallop shells on the steaming plate.
• Soak the glass noodles in hot water to cover for 10 minutes in a large bowl until soft, then drain.
• Twirl a small handful of glass noodles onto each shell, then place the scallop on top and sprinkle each scallop generously with garlic.
• Steam over high heat for 6 minutes.
• Remove from heat and immediately sprinkle spring onion rounds over the scallop.
• Add a few drops of scalding hot oil over each scallop to slightly cook the spring onions.

STEAMED SCALLOPS WITH GARLIC AND GLASS NOODLES

Steps:

• Soak the noodles in a bowl of hot water for 3-5 minutes until softened. Drain and rinse in cold water.
• In a small bowl, combine the garlic, vegetable oil, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sugar and sesame oil with a pinch of salt. Mix well.
• Add a small handful of noodles and 1tsp of the garlic mixture to each scallop in the shell.
• To steam, place the scallops in their shells on a large heatproof plate. It is unlikely they will fit in a single layer, so you can balance the shells carefully on top of each other in the gaps between the actual scallops. Or you can steam them in two lots. The best way to do this is to place a steaming rack into a large pan with a well-fitting lid. Add about 4cm boiling water to the pan and then set the plate of scallops carefully on the rack and place the lid on tightly. Alternatively, you can fashion your own rack using an empty tin (eg of tomatoes or chickpeas) with both the ends removed. The idea is to create a platform upon which you can securely place a plate above the water to steam.
• Steam for 3-6 minutes, depending on the size of the scallops. They are cooked once they turn opaque and spring back a little when gently prodded.
• Carefully remove the plate from the steaming pan. Sprinkle over the chopped spring onions and serve immediately.

QUICK STEAMED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• In a small bowl mix together the scallops, lemon juice, garlic and chili power if desired along with any other seasonings you like with scallops.
• Prepare a a small steamer with 2 cups of water and bring it to the boil until steaming well.
• Place the noodles and vegies in the bottom of the steamer in with the water, scallops at the top.
• Once back at the boil drop heat to around medium so it continues to steam without boiling too hard. Steam for 8-10 minutes.
• Drain noodles and vegetables, stir through soy sauce (once again to taste) and serve with scallops on top.
