Steamed Scallops in Cantonese Style

Steamed Scallops in Cantonese Style

Posted 2014-06-13 by HappyManfollow
This is another delicious scallop recipe, and is also so simple to prepare.



Garlic, ginger, spring onion/shallot and coriander are some of the main ingredients that we often use to steam seafood in Cantonese style.

In addition, bean vermicelli is often a companion in steamed scallops traditionally.

Cantonese XO sauce was developed in HK for Cantonese cuisine 30 years ago. It is mainly made from dried scallops, fish, shrimp and chilli, a very tasty and popular sauce for flavouring food, especially for seafood. They can be bought at most Asian groceries.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients
6 fresh scallops with shells
6-8 garlic cloves, peeled, finely diced
1 tbsp chopped coriander stem
1-1 1/2 tbsp Cantonese XO sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
20g bean vermicelli
premium/seafood soy sauce



Method

  • Soak bean vermicelli in warm water for a few minutes until tender. Rinse and drain.



  • Fry diced garlic in a heat pan with oil until brown, but not burnt. Allow to cool. Set aside.



  • Clean the scallops and shells, pat dry both. Return the scallops with corals (if they have, because this is the traditional style) to the shells.

  • In a bowl, mix fried garlic, chopped coriander, XO sauce and sesame oil thoroughly.

  • Arrange drained bean vermicelli on each scallop.



  • Divide the combined sauce among scallops.

  • Drizzle with a few drops of soy sauce on each scallop.



  • Steam scallops in boiling water over high heat for 5 minutes.



  • After steaming, the scallops should become more juicy, this is what we expect, and like to have them.

  • Garnish with some coriander leaves.

  • Serve immediately.
