Instructions
Prep
Pat 300g scallops very dry. Mince 4 garlic cloves finely. Grate 2 tsp fresh ginger. Roughly chop 2 tbsp fermented black beans. Slice 2 scallion stalks finely. Mix 2 tbsp doubanjiang, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tsp Shaoxing wine, 1 tsp sesame oil, 0.5 tsp sugar, and 1 tsp Sichuan pepper in a bowl.
Sear
Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until smoking. Working in batches to avoid crowding, add scallops in a single layer. Sear 90 seconds undisturbed until deep golden. Flip and sear 60 seconds more until just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Bloom
Add remaining 2 tbsp oil over medium heat. Stir-fry doubanjiang and black beans 1 minute until the oil turns red and fragrant. Add garlic and ginger, toss 30 seconds until aromatic.
Build
Pour in the sauce mixture, stir 30 seconds until glossy. Return scallops to the wok and toss gently to coat evenly in the sauce.
Finish
Scatter Sichuan pepper over the scallops and toss. Top with sliced scallions and divide between two plates over 200g steamed jasmine rice per person.
