Chef's Tip

Steamed scallops with Chinese pickled vegetables are all about balancing delicate sweetness with bright, tangy flavour. Gentle steaming keeps the scallops tender and silky, while the pickled vegetables add freshness, crunch, and acidity that cut beautifully through the richness of the seafood. Ginger, garlic, soy, and sesame bring savoury depth and aroma, creating a light but flavour-packed dish that feels elegant and refined.
