Step 1
Soak the 100g vermicelli in warm water for 10 minutes until soft, then drain and arrange on a heatproof plate.
Step 2
Mince the 4 garlic cloves and 1 inch ginger. Slice the 3 green onions into thin strips and julienne the 1 small carrot into matchsticks.
Step 3
Pat the 8 scallops dry and arrange them on top of the vermicelli. Sprinkle with half the garlic and ginger.
Step 4
Set up a steamer over boiling water. Steam the plate for 8-10 minutes, until the scallops are just opaque and firm to the touch.
Step 5
While steaming, heat the 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a small pan over medium. Add the remaining garlic and ginger, cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 6
Remove the plate from the steamer. Drizzle with the 2 tbsp soy sauce and the hot garlic oil. Top with the green onions and carrot shreds.
Step 7
Serve immediately, hot.
