Background

These steamed scallops with black beans are incredibly easy to make and absolutely delicious. They're not only suitable in a Chinese New Year celebration menu but can be served as a starter or nibble on other occasions too - such as Valentine's day, Anniversaries, dinner/drinks parties and so on.

Ingredients

500g scallops (cleaned)
2 Tbsp fermented black beans
2 Tbsp chopped garlic
2 Tbsp chopped ginger
1 Tbsp Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
1 Tbsp light soy sauce
Banana leaves (or baking paper)
To serve: chopped spring onions

Instructions

Finely chop the black beans then, in a small glass bowl, mix with the chopped ginger & garlic, soy sauce and rice wine.
Line a bamboo steamer with a banana leaf or baking paper.
Wash the scallops, then place these tightly next to each other in the steamer. Pour a spoonful of the sauce on top of each scallop. Cover with the leaf/paper to create a parcel & put the lid on.
In a wok, add 5 cm of water, bring to a boil. When the water is boiling, put in the bamboo steamer, making sure it doesn't touch the water. Steam over high heat for 10 minutes or so.
Carefully take the steamer out of the wok, put it on a plate. Unwrap the parcel and serve.
