Dried scallops, also known as Conpoy, are an essential ingredient in many Asian and Oriental cuisines, revered for their unique flavor and texture. Originating from the meat of scallops, these jewels of the sea are meticulously sun-dried until they exhibit a hardened, yet chewy texture, and a concentrated golden-brown hue. They exude a sweet, distinctive marine flavor, bearing the essence of the ocean beneath their rustic aesthetics. Dried scallops can be as small as peas or as large as a golf ball. Soaking them in warm water before use is a common technique to rehydrate and soften them. Ideal for an array of dishes like soups, stir-fries, rice, and sauces, they impart a rich, umami flavor that elevates the entire culinary experience.
