1 bottle fish sauce
1 bottle sesame seed oil
100ml tablespoons water

Method

You need a large deep pan with lid.
As the pan is getting hot on a high flame, place a small pinch of garlic, ginger and spring onions on top of each scallop, then drizzle ½ teaspoon of fish sauce and sesame seed oil on top of each scallop, place the shells into pan, put lid on and let the scallops cook for 1 ½ minutes, take lid off add water into pan carefully under the scallop shell not on top of scallop, then place lid back on for 1 minute, this will steam the scallops to perfection. (If you don’t have enough heat please cook for longer)
Using a pair of tongs take scallop shells carefully out not loosing the juices and place on a serving platter, allow to cool long enough so you can pick up the shell with your fingers. Grab the shell,
Tilt your neck and swallow all the juices and at the same time push scallop into your mouth and chew, simply amazing.
