  • Dried Scallops (rehydrated) approx. 70g
  • Heavy Cream 100ml
  • Milk 100ml
  • Napa Cabbage (core part, for salad)

Seasonings

  • [A] White Sesame Oil 1 tbsp
  • [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 1/2 tbsp
  • [A] Soup Stock 300ml
  • [A] Salt (to taste)
  • [A] Potato Starch Slurry 2 1/2 tbsp
  • [B] Ginger 1 tsp
  • [B] Chives (finely chopped) 1 tsp
  • [B] Sichuan Peppercorns (ground) a pinch
  • [B] Chili Peppers a pinch
  • [B] Sesame Oil 2 tbsp
  • [B] Vinegar 1 tbsp
  • [B] Soy Sauce a little
  • [B] Salt a little

Steps

  1. Cut the core of the napa cabbage (for creamed dish) into bite-sized pieces along the fibers.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp of White Sesame Oil in a frying pan and sauté approx. 70g of Dried Scallops.
  3. Once fragrant, add 1 1/2 tbsp of Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) and 300ml of Soup Stock, bring to a boil, then add 200g of sliced Napa Cabbage.
  4. Increase heat, cover with a lid, and simmer for about 8 minutes until the napa cabbage softens.
  5. Season with salt to a consistency slightly saltier than clear broth.
  6. Add 100ml of Heavy Cream and 100ml of Milk.
  7. Take a small amount of the soup, dissolve 2 1/2 tbsp of Potato Starch Slurry in it, and pour it over the napa cabbage. (Key Tip!) The potato starch slurry will thicken as it cooks, so start with a smaller amount and add more as needed.
  8. Once thickened, transfer to a large plate and serve.
  9. Tear the core part of the napa cabbage (for salad) into bite-sized pieces, wash with water, and chill in the refrigerator. (Key Tip!) Chilling it in the refrigerator until just before serving will result in a crisp texture.
  10. In a bowl, combine 2 tbsp of Sesame Oil, 1 tbsp of Vinegar, a little Soy Sauce, and a little Salt.
  11. Then, add 1 tsp of Ginger, 1 tsp of Chives, a pinch of Sichuan Peppercorns, and a pinch of Chili Peppers, and mix well to create the dressing.
  12. Just before serving, add the dressing to the torn and chilled napa cabbage and toss to combine.
