One restaurant dish containing XO sauce that I love eating is stir fried scallops with asparagus. So, this is the perfect opportunity to recreate this dish at home for my loved ones. For this dish at home, I used large frozen Hokkaido scallops. Beautiful, fragrant dish - everyone loved it! :)

I love scallops!
ReplyDeleteI adore XO sauce! We made a batch this year for Chinese New Year. it was surprisingly easy to make (although it was expensive in terms of ingredients).
ReplyDeleteWhen I see scallop recipes, one of my first thoughts would be if you, since you love scallops! ;)
ReplyDeleteCertainly a luxurious dish to have as all 3 key ingredients are expensive...there's no better time to have it than during CNY...hehe! ;D
ReplyDeleteCan you suggest where I could get a bottle of XO sauce in KL ? Been looking for it but no luck so far.
