dried scallops - watch the video to see (larger scallops need more soaking time)
Instructions
Wash the Scallops: Wash the dried scallops twice to remove any dust or debris.
Soak the Scallops: Soak the scallops in water. The larger the scallop, the more time they will need to be soaked.
Let it Soften: After soaking, set the bowl aside for at least 10 minutes to let the scallops soften further.
Alternative Soaking Method: If preparing dried scallops way ahead of time or using them for broth or congee, skip microwaving and soak the pieces for at least 30 minutes until they soften.
