1/4 cup cilantro leaves |
16 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced |
1/2 cup peanut oil (lion and globe brand) |
3 cups sushi rice |

2. HOT GARLIC OIL:

When rice is done, put into a large stainless steel bowl to cool. Pull out the scallops and shred them by hand. Add the scallops back to the cooled rice with the lapchang, scallions, oyster sauce and cilantro. Check for seasoning. Place a serving of rice on top of each leaf and fold into a square package. Place in steasmer, ensuring that the folded side of the package is underneath. Steam the packages hot. Using a sharp knife, slice the top of the package.
