Boiled Scallops is a traditional seafood dish primarily made with fresh scallops, cooked by boiling to preserve their natural flavor. Scallops are marine shellfish rich in protein, minerals, and vitamins, with a delicate texture and a hint of sweetness. The preparation of boiled scallops is simple, aimed at retaining their natural taste. First, fresh scallops are cleaned and briefly blanched in boiling water until the flesh turns white and firm. Depending on preference, ingredients such as ginger, garlic, or seasonings like white pepper, soy sauce, or rice wine may be added for extra flavor.

This dish is known for preserving the fresh essence of the seafood, with the scallop meat being tender, sweet, and flavorful. Boiled scallops are often served as a light appetizer or main dish, particularly suitable for those who enjoy a refreshing taste. In high-end restaurants or seafood markets, boiled scallops are considered a premium dish, often featured on the menu.
