WOK-STEAMED SCALLOPS WITH BROTH

24 scallops
3 tablespoons shredded ginger
3 tablespoons coriander leaves
1 1/2 cups water
1 stalk lemon grass bruised
2 kaffir lime leaves
2 tablespoons miso
2 tablespoons oil
1/3 cup Thai basil leaves

Remove any brown from scallops and sprinkle and coriander over them. Pour water into the bottom of a wok and add lemon grass, lime leaves and scallops. Cover, place wok over medium heat and allow scallops to steam for 3-5 minutes or until cooked. Remove scallops, tipping any excess cooking juices into wok. Cover scallops and set aside. Add enough water to bottom of wok to make about 4 cups of liquid. Add miso to wok and stir to dissolve. Allow liquid to simmer for 2 minutes. Heat oil in a frypan over medium heat. Add basil, fry until crisp and drain on absorbent paper.

To serve, place scallops on serving plates, top with fried Thai basil and drizzle over a little of the cooking oil. Serve with small bowl of broth.

Serves 4.
