Scallops

Fava Bean Salad

Mapo Tofu

Method

Cooking Scallops

  1. 1

    Sear the Scallops

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the scallops with salt and black pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the scallops and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Preparing Fava Bean Salad

  1. 2

    Mix the Salad

    In a bowl, combine the shelled fava beans, thinly sliced radishes, finely chopped lemongrass, and the juice of finger limes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.

Making Mapo Tofu

  1. 3

    Cook the Tofu

    In a separate pan, heat the mapo tofu sauce over medium heat. Add the cubed soft tofu and gently stir to coat. Cook for 5-7 minutes until heated through. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, arrange a bed of the fava bean salad. Top with the seared scallops and spoon the mapo tofu beside the scallops. Serve immediately.
