Cooking tips
- Adding ginger while boiling the scallops effectively reduces their natural fishy odor.
- Pour the hot green onion and ginger oil over the scallops before adding the sauce so the aroma deeply penetrates the scallop meat.
- If you dislike cilantro, use chopped scallions or chives instead for a vibrant green finish.
- Mixing the oil with the soy sauce balances the saltiness and brings out the rich umami flavor characteristic of Chinese cuisine—be sure to use plenty of oil.
