Don’t be shellfish!

Today we’re making Sò điệp Mỡ Hành in the air fryer! This is a dish that is popular in many Vietnamese street food markets. It translates into scallops with scallion oil. Traditionally this is grilled over a fire or charcoal, but my apt don’t play so we are doing it in the airfryer!

I recently got my hands on some scallops In Shell and let me tell you they are something else! There’s something just saw visually appealing about seeing a scallop and shell that hits different. It also makes a perfect serving tool for your dish!

Some of my favorite toppings to put on top are fried shallots, crushed peanuts, Masago, Vietnamese coriander and you could even put Sriracha! For the dipping sauce I just keep it simple: salt and pepper and some lemon juice!

Let me know if you tried this! Until next time!
