It has been wonderful being home in Malaysia. I am trying not to let the daily evening downpour dampen my spirits or stop me from heading to my favourite haunts. I have not stepped into the kitchen yet but that will change soon. I have been getting requests for some specialty dishes of mine - maybe one of these days. I have been enjoying some of my favourite treats here that I have missed terribly in New York. Although there are some decent Malaysian and Indian restaurants in New York, nothing really beats the taste of home :)I made this recipe a few months back in an attempt not to leave this blog flailing while on vacay :) You have probably seen similar recipes featuring steak instead of scallops. This recipe comes together quickly once you have the ingredients prepped.
Scallops With Hot & Sour Sauce
1 lb scallops
2 Tb soy sauce
1 Tb fish sauce
4 Tb lime juice
1 tsp sugar
4 small shallots - finely minced
2 small chillies - chopped
1/4 cup Tb chopped cilantro
1/4 chopped fresh mint
Pat scallops dry with kitchen paper and sprinkle some salt over it. Heat saute pan on medium heat and brown scallops a minute on each side, place on a platter.
Mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and adjust seasonings. Pour over sauteed scallops and serve immediately. Serves 4.
