Summer of Riesling! 1. Food for riesling - XO Scallops

I absolutely love XO sauce. My very favourite thing in a good Cantonese restaurant is XO pippies. But XO prawns, lobster, crab and scallops are all equally delicious.



I found a great recipe for XO sauce on the internet. It's one of Neil Perry's recipes which he uses at his amazing Spice Temple & Rockpool. It was really easy to make and just when I thought the sauce wasn't cooking properly it suddenly came together and turned the red colour Neil talks about in his method.

Here's the link to this great recipe. Rockpool XO Sauce Recipe.

Once the sauce was made and cooled, I lightly seasoned the scallops and tossed them in a hot wok with some snow peas and the XO sauce. Once done, I removed them from the wok, added a little more XO sauce to the scallop juices and tossed some noodles through this and then served.

Enjoy with a chilled glass of our beautiful 2011 'The Whip' Riesling.
