How to Prepare

Pan-searing (recommended): Thaw, pat completely dry with paper towels, season with salt and white pepper, and sear in a very hot pan with oil for 1–2 minutes per side until a beautiful golden-brown crust forms while the centre remains just translucent — finish with a knob of butter, garlic, and fresh thyme for a restaurant-worthy pan-seared scallop that is the epitome of elegant simplicity.
Cantonese steaming: Place scallops on the half shell or in a dish, top with glass noodles, minced garlic, soy sauce, and a drizzle of sesame oil, and steam for 6–8 minutes — the classic Cantonese steamed scallop with glass noodles (蒜蓉粉丝蒸帶子) that is a beloved dim sum and banquet staple.
Grilling: Brush with garlic butter or a miso glaze and grill over high heat for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly caramelized and cooked through — a stunning, smoky preparation.
Stir-frying: Stir-fry with asparagus, garlic, and oyster sauce over high heat for 2–3 minutes for a quick, vibrant Cantonese-style dish.

Serving Suggestions

Scallops are a luxury ingredient that transforms any meal into a special occasion — pan-sear to a perfect golden crust and serve over a silky cauliflower purée with crispy pancetta and a drizzle of truffle oil for a breathtakingly elegant restaurant-worthy dish. Prepare Cantonese-style with glass noodles and garlic for a classic dim sum favourite that never fails to impress. Grill with a white miso and mirin glaze and serve with steamed rice for a Japanese-inspired preparation. Wrap in prosciutto and pan-sear for a classic Italian-inspired appetizer. A truly luxurious ingredient that elevates every dish it graces.
