Ingredients
Main Ingredients (For Meal Prep)
- Salted Salmon
- Canned Scallops (in water)
- Green Onion
- Ginger
- Garlic
- Chili Peppers
- Citrus Zest
Seasonings
- [A] White Sesame Oil 400ml
- [B] Granulated Sugar 2 tsp
- [B] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
- [B] Shaoxing Wine 1 tbsp
Steps
- If using fresh salmon, sprinkle generously with salt and let it sit for about 3 hours before grilling. [The Key!]: Salted salmon can be used as is.
- Flake the flesh of 2 slices of grilled salted salmon (approx. 250g), removing any bones.
- Finely chop the skin of the grilled salmon.
- Finely mince the citrus zest. [The Key!]: Use your favorite citrus, such as orange or yuzu.
- Heat 400ml of White Sesame Oil in a frying pan over low heat. Add the flaked salmon flesh and the finely chopped salmon skin.
- Continue to add 40g of minced ginger, 40g of minced garlic, and 80g of minced green onion. [The Key!]: Adding ingredients with moisture when the oil is at a low temperature helps prevent splattering.
- Add 1 can (approx. 70g) of canned scallops along with their liquid. [The Key!]: This adds umami to the saltiness of the salmon.
- Heat and stir over medium heat. Once it starts to boil, add the chopped citrus zest and 10g of minced chili peppers. [The Key!]: Adjust the amount of chili peppers to your preference – more if you like it spicy, less if it's for children.
- Continue to heat, stirring occasionally and increasing the heat, until the moisture from the ingredients evaporates and the bubbles become fine.
- When the salmon's umami has infused into the oil and it's sizzling with fine bubbles, turn off the heat.
- After turning off the heat, add 2 tsp of granulated sugar, 1 tbsp of Cooking Sake (Rice Wine), and 1 tbsp of Shaoxing Wine. Mix well.
- Let it cool to room temperature, then transfer to a clean storage jar. [The Key!]: Storing with the oil covering all the ingredients prevents oxidation and extends shelf life.
