Ingredients

  • 10 or so medium-sized frozen scallops (the ones I bought had instructions to cook from frozen). You can of course use fresh scallops, which will take less time to cook
  • 1 medium-sized leek
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 slices of fresh ginger
  • sea salt and freshly ground white pepper
  • 2 teaspoons of XO sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • noodles (I used easy cook ones that cook really quickly, but you can use any type you like)
