2 SERVING

Ingredients:

1 cup Boba
1 sprigs Fresh Aloe
0.25 tsp. Salt
1 tbsp. Butter
7 Large Scallops
0.25 tsp. Black Pepper
1 oz. Garlic, Minced
1 cup Chicken Broth
0.25 tsp. Salt
0.5 tsp. Sugar
2 tbsp. Cornstarch Slurry (1 to 2 Ratio of Cornstarch to Water)

Directions:

Step 1

Boil boba in the water at a medium high heat. When it floats to the surface, it is ready. Take them out and place them in the cold water.

Step 2

Take one piece of fresh Aloe, cut off the outside leaf to get the gel inside. Then cut the gel into small cubes. Before cutting the gel, it makes it easier if you sprinkle some salt onto the cutting board

Step 3

Soak the aloe vera gel in water

Step 4

Add butter in a pan over a medium heat. Add scallops. Fry both sides until golden.

Step 5

Add black pepper, chopped garlic, chicken broth, salt, sugar, Aloe Vera, boba and water with corn starch. Stew and mix.

Step 6

Feature: colorful, creative, boba is chewy and Scallops are fresh

Final Notes

Key feature: You need to boil boba until it is cooked well. It has to be soaked in the water after it's cooked. Sprinkling salt over the cutting board is to avoid slipperiness. Remember to wash the salt off after cutting. Do not stew for too long in the 4th step after adding boba, otherwise, boba will melt.
