The time to steam scallops depends on the size and quantity of the scallops. Generally speaking, after cleaning and placing them in a steamer, steaming them for about 15 minutes is sufficient. When the scallops are cooked, they will open their shells automatically, which is a sign that they are well steamed.

Here's how to do it:

Materials:

Steps:

1. Put the scallops in water and scrub them well with a brush or towel. If the scallop still has a big belly, clothes, whiskers and so on, you need to deal with it.

2. Mince the green onion, ginger and garlic. Slice the ginger and set aside.

3. In the steamer pot pour in the right amount of water, add chopped onion, ginger and garlic, ginger, pepper, cooking wine and salt, and bring to a boil.

4. Put the cleaned scallops into the steamer, cover the pot and steam for about 15 minutes.

5. There is a layer of black skin on top of the steamed scallops, which needs to be scraped off with a knife or spoon.

6. Add some soy sauce and cilantro and the delicious steamed scallops are done.

Tips: The steaming time will vary depending on the size and freshness of the scallops. It's best to try opening a few scallops before steaming to see if they are fresh. It's also important to get the heat right when steaming scallops, as overdoing it will cause them to get old and affect the flavor.
