Spicy Scallops

Overview

I bought 2 kilograms of scallop meat for 25 yuan, which was quite big. I divided the scallop meat into three portions, one for making dumplings with fresh leek meat, one for steamed vermicelli, and one for the spicy scallops I’m sharing with you today. This spicy scallop dish is quick and easy to make, fresh, fragrant, numb and spicy, my favorite!

Ingredients

Steps

2. 2 Mix 1 tsp fine chili powder and 1 tsp coarse chili powder with 1 tsp white sesame seeds.

   

3. 3 Spices, 1 small segment of cinnamon, 1 split star anise, scallion segments, 3 bay leaves, 20 peppercorns

   

4. 4 Heat oil in a cold pot, add scallions, cinnamon bark, bay leaves, star anise, and peppercorns and fry over low heat until fragrant, then remove and discard.

   

5. 5 When the oil temperature drops to 60% hot, pour it on the chili powder and stir quickly to make a simple chili oil.
