Steamed Scallops with Fermented Black Beans Recipe

For today’s cooking, I picked scallops as I found some succulent ones in the market today. I paired the scallops with fresh enoki mushrooms and heaped in some fermented black beans. After a few minutes of steaming, the scallops and enoki mushrooms were bathed in a lightly flavored broth bursting with natural sweetness of the scallops and enoki mushrooms. The fermented black beans were simply icing on the cake. Yum…
