Extra Small Dried Scallop from Japan (SA)
Origin: Japan
Grade: 100-120 pcs/lb (or 16 oz)
Characteristics: Originated from the pristine waters of Hokkaido, these golden-colored Japanese scallops are fragrant, with a hint of the ocean and pack a unique and intense flavor punch - sweet, salty and savory (or unami in Japanese term) all at once which add incredible depth to dishes.
Before use, it is important to soak and soften the dried scallops in hot water for 30 minutes so they start releasing their flavors. It is perfectly fine to retain the water either to add it back into your dish for a sauce or to be used as future soup stocks. Smaller sized dried scallops are best for soups or congees while larger ones can be served whole.
Dried scallops is one of the main ingredients that goes into the much loved Hong Kong condiment, “XO sauce”. Some even eat them dry like seafood jerky!
