MCO 3.0 Day 57

Trending today on socia media is the screenshot of MySejahtera for AstraZaneca 2nd appointment. This is after Khairy announced that AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine dosing interval shortened to nine weeks from 12 weeks and suddenly, all of us received 2nd vaccination appointment.

For lunch today, I cooked Scallops Aglio Olio.

Scallop is not a cheap seafood. Most people avoid buying it as they dont know how to cook scallop. After watching few YouTube, it is actually quite easy to cook beautifully tender scallops with crust on the outside.

1. Take scallops out from fridge 30 mins before cooking and let it rest to room temperature. Scallops should not be frozen or wet. Pat dry it for it to sear and crust beautifully.
2. Season scallops with salt, ground pepper and pinch of garlic powder. Rub on both sides.
3. Heat up a non-stick pan. Add butter (for flavour) and let it melt. Drop a little of olive oil to help keep the butter from burning.
4. When pan is hot, put in scallop. The sizzling sounds show that oil is hot enough.
5. Pan fry 1.5 minutes on one side of scallop and a minute on the other side. Don’t touch the scallops. Let it develop crust on the outside and beautifully tender inside.

Jaden loved the Scallops Aglio Olio for lunch today and he ate a big plate of pasta.
