Method

  1. 1 Soak the vermicelli for 15 minutes, then cut it into short pieces and roll them into small bundles to place inside each seashell.
  2. 2 Sauté half of the minced garlic until golden brown and crispy, then remove and reserve the garlic oil.
  3. 3 Mixing crispy fried garlic with fresh minced garlic is a way to make the dish both fragrant and crunchy.
  4. 4 Place the scallop meat on top of the vermicelli noodles, then cover with the garlic mixture and drizzle with garlic oil.
  5. 5 Steam scallops over the highest heat for exactly 5 minutes; if cooked too long, they will shrink to half their size and become tough.
  6. 6 Pour the soy sauce mixture with sugar and rice wine over the top, then sprinkle with chopped scallions and chili peppers.

With an appliance

  • Microwave 30 min

    Replace step 5: lightly cover the plate of clams and microwave at 700 W for 2 minutes and 30 seconds, rotating the plate at minute 1, then let it rest for 1 minute to prevent the clams from becoming tough. Step 6 remains unchanged.
