Recipes for Scallops with XO Sauce

Clean scallops with running cold water.
Reserve the shells.
Place scallops with shells in a large plate and put in a steamer,
or in my case I use an electric wok and steam for three to five minutes.
Less time needed if you like it raw.

Then add a tablespoon of sauce on top when it's ready to serve.

For the sauce:

Finely chop garlic and chillies mixed with XO sauce (from Asian grocery)
and olive oil in a sauce pan use low heat.
Then add in finely chopped spring onion and parsley.
Mix them well and add on top of the scallops.

That's it.
Very quick and easy.
Same sauce can be used for steam oysters or fish.

It's getting warm and here's a dinner perfect for hot summer days.

Cold soba noodles: cook in boiling water for a couple of minutes and drain the noodles into a colander. Cool it down in running water. Served with dipping sauce which came with the package. You can make your own by mixing Kaeshi sauce and Dashi stock. I've added some white sesame and dry seaweed on top of the soba just to give the noodles a bit more flavour. You can reserved some water from the boiling noodles and added to the sauce at the end of the meal and drink it as soup.

Cold silken tofu with spring onion: slice tofu into your preferable shape. Finely chop spring onion place on top. Add salt and paper, olive oil and sesame oil for seasoning. I like spicy food, so I added a little chilli oil as well. If you like century egg, it would be good to slice the egg and place around the tofu and serve with vinegar and slice ginger sauce.

Garlic prawns: Remove shells and keep the tails on. Heat butter in frying pan, add prawns in and pan fried each side until change colour. Lower heat and add crushed garlic into the pan. Add salt and pepper for seasoning. Served with lettuce and mayonnaise sauce.

Easy?
Super easy!

Grilled chicken wings with Chinese five spices
and baby spinach and rocket salad with roasted pine nuts.
Lemon on the plate was from my own backyard.

Yum!

Very simply but delicious dish. It only takes about 30 minuets to cook.
Pan fried the chicken wings until golden brown on both sides.

Then seasoning with salt and pepper, Chinese five spices and chilli power.

Yum, love spicy food!
Put them in a 200F oven for 10min each side.
That's it. Done!

When the chicken wings are in oven, then I can do the fried rice which I used over night left over rice and stored in fridge. Mixed rice with sweet corn, peas, Chinese sausage and egg. However, there's heaps of other ingredients you can added in.
Easy.
