Hokkaido Scallop

Let's prepare it!

1
Pickled Shallot Vietnamese style method Boil all ingredients and cool down.
In the meantime, peel the shallot until the skin is softer.
Dress the shallot in a round sauté pan, and pour the marination over. 
Cover with baking paper and slow simmer for 45 min or until the vegetables are soft. 
Cool down and keep in a container with pickled juice until needed.
2
Ginger tuille method: Cook the tapioca in boiling water until it becomes transparent, and strain the excess liquid. 
Blend pickled pink ginger, fresh ginger, ginger syrup and salt.
Combine all ingredients and spread on top of the Silpat sheet.
Dry out at 65* for 8 hours and deep-fried for 2 min at 150*.
Remove the tuille from the oil and pat dry with a paper towel.
Keep in a dry place before serving.
3
Chimichurri method Mix all ingredients in a bowl. 
Allow sitting for 5-10 minutes to release all of the flavours into the oil before using. (Ideally, let it sit for more than 2 hours if time allows.).
4
Scallop sous vide process Season the scallops with salt and pepper.
Put in a vacuum bag as a single layer. 
Drizzle olive oil, thyme, bay leaf into the bag until scallops are covered.
