XO Sauce
Matt SinclairIngredients:
- ½ cup dried scallops
- ½ cup dried shrimp
- 300ml Shaoxing wine
- 6 long red chillies, roughly chopped
- 2 inch piece ginger, peeled, roughly chopped
- 1 head garlic (10-12 cloves), peeled, roughly chopped
- 2 large red shallots, roughly chopped
- 1 large rasher bacon, finely diced
- 1 cup peanut oil
- 3 dried chillies
- 3 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 2 tsp. brown sugar
Method:
- Combine the dried scallops and shrimp in a bowl and cover completely with Shaoxing wine. Cover with cling film and leave to soak overnight in the fridge.
- In a food processor, add long red chillies, ginger, garlic and shallots and blitz into a chunky paste. Transfer to bowl and set aside.
- Drain re-hydrated scallops and shrimp, reserving the Shaoxing for later. Add the scallops and shrimp to a food processor and pulse into slightly smaller pieces. The mix should still be quite chunky. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Add dried chillies and fry for approximately 30 seconds, until blackened. Remove from oil and set aside.
- Add chilli/garlic paste to the wok, along with the bacon and fry off for approximately 5 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Add scallops and shrimp and fry for a further 4-5 minutes, stirring continuously. Add Shaoxing wine and cook down until there is no longer any steam rising from the sauce.
- Season with soy sauce and sugar. Remove from heat and adjust seasoning if required. Return blackened chillies to sauce. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
