Name: Steamed Scallops with Glass Noodles and Fried Garlic
Cuisine: Asian
Ingredients: 4 king scallops; 2 half scallop shells; 25g glass noodles; 3 cloves of garlic; Half of a stalk of spring onion, green part only; 1 tsp sesame oil; 1 tsp rice wine; 2 tsp light soy sauce; 2 tsp water; Oil for frying (e.g. vegetable oil or peanut oil); An 8" 2 tier steamer

Instructions

Back at home in Hong Kong I grew up eating a lot of fresh shellfish, often steamed on a bed of glass noodles with fried garlic. It is always a treat to see that on the dinner table. The recipe I am sharing here uses scallops but you can substitute with prawns, razor clams or even squid. It is a very quick process so make it the last dish to cook for the meal, so you are able to serve it immediately. This recipe is written by Cherry Tang, a London-based food writer specialising in Cantonese home cooking.
