Steamed scallops with gold and silver garlic

Overview

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that scallops are sweet, salty and slightly warm, and have the effects of nourishing yin and blood, tonifying the kidneys and regulating the heart. They are mainly used to treat thirst, kidney deficiency, frequent urination, and loss of appetite. Nutritionists believe that scallops are rich in protein, carbohydrates, riboflavin, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other nutrients. The protein content is as high as 61.8%, which is three times that of chicken, beef and fresh prawns. The mineral content is much higher than that of shark's fin and bird's nest. Scallops are rich in sodium glutamate and taste extremely fresh.
