Method for making crispy fried scallops
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients for crispy fried scallops
- After purchasing scallops, use a sharp knife to insert it into one side of the scallop, pry gently. Once the shell is opened, slide the knife gently underneath the meat of the scallop to remove it from the shell. Discard discolored meat, muscle fibers, small cartilage pieces, and the membrane surrounding the white meat of the scallop. Keep the white meat (scallop). Then, rinse the scallop meat thoroughly with saltwater and vinegar, blanch it in boiling water for about 2 - 3 minutes, then rinse again with cold water, and drain it.
- For pre-prepared scallop meat you bought, soak it in diluted saltwater and vinegar for about 10 minutes, then blanch it in boiling water for about 2 - 3 minutes, then rinse again with cold water, and drain it.
