I used scallops & gingko nuts as the main food in this dish. Since i hv some leftover sweet peas & shitake mushrooms, might as well used those too. i dunno wat the outcome will be like at first cos like i said, i do not hv all the ingredients
eg: tumeric powder, 5 spice powder, mirin, grounded black pepper, etc... so i anyhow mix & match lor. Hehe..
Ingredients:
- Gingko nuts ( i bot those pkt ones but remember to remove the stems else the nuts wld taste bitter)
- Scallops - washed & soaked in salt water for abt 10-15mins. Drain.
- 3 shitake mushrooms - sliced
- 1 red bell pepper - seeds removed & sliced
- Sweet peas - washed & tips cut off
- 1 tbsp chinese cooking wine ( my fren told me to add it cos i do nt hv any special seasoning)
- Light soy sauce
- Cornflour (thickener)
- Oil
- Water
From top left: red bell peppers, shitake mushrooms, sweet peas
Bottom left: scallops, gingko nuts
** dun hv to buy those expensive Hokkaido scallops la. just normal supermarket wrapped ones will do. Cheapo me! :P
Preparations:
Heat wok with oil. Stir in the mushrooms for abt 1 min. Next, add in the gingko nuts, bell pepper & sweet peas. Continue tossing for abt 2-3 mins. Add in the scallops & stir fry till they turn white. Add 1tbsp of cooking wine, pouring ard the wok. Add water & simmer with wok covered for abt 1-2 mins. Add in light soy sauce & corn flour thickener when sauce bubbles. Serve
Tadam! Colourful dish. Tis time no comments. But apparently each individuals seems to hv a liking for a separate ingredient which i hv noticed. My fil: the red bell peppers, my sil: the shitake mushrooms, another sil: the sweet peas. But of cos, everybody gt their fair share of the scallops la. :)
