Ingredients

3
100 g Basmati Rice
160 ml Water
15 g Ginger, sliced
8 pcs Hokkaido Scallops
100 ml Port Wine
2 Lemons, zest and juice
5 cloves Garlic, minced
20 ml Olive Oil

Tips: When using frozen scallops, thaw them out slowly by placing them in the chiller compartment after removing them from the freezer. This prevents too much moisture from being lost when the scallops are thawing.
