Cooking Tips
- Pat the scallops completely dry before they hit the pan. Wet scallops steam instead of searing.
- Two minutes a side is plenty. Scallops go from tender to rubbery very quickly.
Ingredient Substitutions
- Prawns work in place of scallops with the same timing.
- Any firm white fish fillet suits the fried side of the dish.
What to Serve With It
- Serve with hot rice and a wedge of calamansi or lemon.
Storage and Reheating
- Best eaten immediately. Reheating ruins both the scallops and the crisp coating.
Arroz Caldo
Filipino chicken and ginger rice porridge, finished with toasted garlic, spring onion and a squeeze of calamansi. What gets cooked when it rains, or when somebody is ill.
Beef Caldereta
Rich Filipino beef stew in tomato and liver spread, with olives and cheese stirred through at the end. The party dish - it is what gets cooked when there is something to celebrate.
Beef Kulma
A mild Maranao beef curry in coconut milk and ground peanuts, scented with turmeric and lemongrass. Gentler than rendang, and usually served at gatherings alongside rice.
Filipino style Carbonara
This is my own version of a creamy and cheesy Carbonara. This Recipe is a Tuna Carbonara, but you can change tuna with Chicke, Beef, etc.
Chicken Adobo
The Philippines' national dish and the first thing most Filipino cooks learn. Chicken braised in vinegar, soy and garlic until the sauce turns dark and glossy - it genuinely improves overnight.
Chicken Afritada
A Filipino tomato stew of chicken, potato and bell pepper. Afritada is the gentlest of the Filipino tomato braises - no chilli, no sourness, just a sweet-savoury sauce that children eat happily.
