jul 25, 2022 (mon).............cook an easy dish

introduction

- it is kind of premium dish because dried scallop can be expensive (depend on country of origin, grading and size)

main ingredients

- broccoli

- dried scallop (from japan) <-- may not be so easy to find here

- oyster sauce

- salt

- shaohsing chinese cooking rice wine (made in taiwan)

steps

1. soak 2 dried scallop in hot water until soft (will take few hours)

2. shredded dried scallop by hand

3. cut broccoli into small pieces

4. stir fry the stem part first (~1.5 mins) coz much stiffer

5. add in rest of broccoli................stir fry in high heat

6. add shredded dried scallop

7. add a pinch of salt

8. cover the lid ~1 min................if you like soft broccoli, then cook longer...,.........later add oyster sauce................before switch off the heat..............sprinkle ~2 teaspoons of shaohsing rice wine

9. done, plating

taste
-dried scallop is very sweet (perhaps aided by oyster sauce).............the aroma of shaohsing rice wine is impeccable............complex, deeper taste with a strong note of sweetness

areas of improvement
-prefer a better texture broccoli...........will shorten the cooking time a bit to improve crunchiness next time
