Dried scallops, also known as "scallops" or "scallops", are made from cylindrical scallops of large shellfish. Fresh scallops are cooked with salt and dried in the sun to become dry goods.

When buying scallops, they are amber golden yellow in color, shiny, round and complete in shape, and the bigger, the more delicious and the more expensive; Usually, the scallops produced in Japan are larger in size and better in quality, and the "Zonggubei" is fragrant; China scallops are represented by "Qingdao scallops".

The bought scallops need to be washed and the old tendons on the outer layer removed, then placed in a bowl with water, onion, ginger and wine, steamed for two hours, and kneaded into filaments for cooking!

Scallop is rich in protein and iodine, which can reduce hypertension and nourish kidney. Commonly used for soup, porridge, steamed eggs, scrambled eggs, soup; In Guangdong cuisine, I especially like to add melons and vegetables to enhance its fragrance, such as "stewed old duck with white gourd with yaozhu" and "baked melon with yaozhu".
