How to Make Scallops Black Beans And Chilli

  1. Rinse 1 cup of dried black beans under cold water and soak in several changes of cold water for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
  2. Drain the soaked beans and lightly crush 1/2 cup of them using a fork or potato masher.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed and whole beans with 1 tablespoon minced ginger, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 2 tablespoons rice wine, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Mix well.
  4. Steam 1 pound of sea scallops in their shells for 4-5 minutes, or until they are opaque and cooked through. (Alternatively, you can gently pan-sear them for 2-3 minutes per side).
  5. Spoon the black bean mixture generously over the steamed scallops.
  6. Garnish with 1-2 teaspoons of finely chopped fresh chili (adjust to your spice preference).
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors!
