  2. Pour a dash of vegetable oil into a frying pan and place over medium-low heat to stir-fry the ginger. When aromatic, add the scallops and cook for about 2 minutes, turning over occasionally.

  3. Take out the scallops and stir-fry the shiitake for about a minute to soften. Add rice wine, mirin, soy sauce and sugar and simmer over medium-low heat for about a minute.

  4. Return the scallops to the pan and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated. Adjust the heat when simmering the ingredients. Without enough liquid, you might end up burning the food!
