Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat broiler.

2. Toss scallops with oil, five-spice powder and salt. Broil on a baking sheet until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve with toothpicks.

Notes: We prefer "dry" sea scallops (not treated with sodium tripolyphosphate, or STP). Scallops treated with STP ("wet" scallops) are mushy, less flavorful and will not brown properly.

Often a blend of cinnamon, cloves, fennel seed, star anise and Szechuan peppercorns, five-spice powder was originally considered a cure-all miracle blend encompassing the five elements (sour, bitter, sweet, pungent, salty). Look for it in the supermarket spice section.

Any how, Five-spice powder is used in Chinese cooking. It can be found in the spice section at well stocked supermarkets or at Asian food markets. The brand I have is Dynasty. Maybe you should try GRILLING for the next thirty years and see what you have been missing.
