  • Servings : 2 servings

Main Ingredients

  • 9 fresh scallops
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 paper cup mozzarella cheese (or pizza cheese)

Special Sauce Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons cho-gochujang (Korean chili paste with vinegar)
  • 2 tablespoons finely minced onion
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion
  • 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
  • A pinch of black pepper

Cooking Instructions

Step 1

First, carefully clean and prepare the scallops. Arrange the cleaned scallops attractively in a steamer basket.

Step 1

Step 2

Once the water is boiling, sprinkle a little soju (Korean rice wine) over the scallops and steam for about 4 minutes, or until just cooked through. This step helps to remove any fishy odor and makes the scallops more tender.

Step 2

Step 3

While the scallops are steaming, let’s prepare the special sauce. In a small bowl, combine the cho-gochujang, minced onion, chopped green onion, minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir everything together thoroughly until well blended.

Step 3

Step 4

Remove the steamed scallops and generously spoon the prepared special sauce over each one. The sauce will cook slightly and meld beautifully with the scallop’s natural sweetness.

Step 5

Now, let’s add the creamy, cheesy goodness! Drizzle mayonnaise in a zig-zag pattern over the sauce on each scallop. Follow this with a generous layer of pizza cheese. For a final touch, sprinkle some parsley flakes on top for extra color and flavor.

Step 5

Step 6

Place the prepared scallops in a pan and cover with a lid. Cook over low heat until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and lightly golden brown. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy this delightful seafood treat!
