Ingredients List
- 90 fresh scallops (approx. 3 per person, cleaned and patted dry)
- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 teaspoons white pepper (to taste)
- 9 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely grated
- 9 tablespoons soy sauce
- 6 tablespoons sushi seasoning (or seasoned rice vinegar)
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 15 shallots, thinly sliced (or about 1 shallot for every 2 servings)
- Steamed rice or greens on the side
Steps
- Place the ginger, soy sauce, sushi seasoning, and sugar in a bowl. Use a balloon whisk to whisk until the sugar dissolves.
- Combine the scallops and oil in a bowl. Season with white pepper. Preheat a barbecue grill or chargrill on high. Brush with extra oil to grease. Cook one-third of scallops for 20-30 seconds each side or until just cooked through. Transfer to a separate bowl. Repeat, in 2 more batches, with remaining scallops.
- Divide the scallops and a little of the dressing among serving spoons. Sprinkle with shallots to serve.
