Garlic vermicelli steamed scallops are a popular dish, but Western-style preparations can be equally delicious. Here’s a recipe for a Western-style version that can be completed in just 20 minutes—simple to make and visually stunning!
What is en Papillote?
En papillote is a French cooking method where food is placed inside a folded pouch or parcel made of parchment paper (or occasionally aluminum foil) and then baked. The technique is designed to create a steaming effect that cooks the food gently and helps to lock in moisture and flavours.
How to make this dish?
This dish looks sophisticated but is actually quite simple to prepare. Scallops are mixed with some spices and vegetables, then wrapped in spring roll pastry and baked. The benefit is that the outer layer becomes crisp and the moisture is completely sealed inside. When you break the crispy skin, the essence and aroma are released, providing an excellent sensory experience. The scallops remain tender and smooth because the moisture is securely locked in. It’s perfect for entertaining guests.
Of course, if you prefer not to use spring roll pastry, you can substitute with puff pastry. The method is the same, and the flavor is just as delightful!
