Preparation

Step 1

Fill a stock pot half way with canola oil and heat to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, fish sauce, mint and ginger. Pour half into a dipping bowl and the other half into a large bowl. Add scallop coins and marinate for about 10 seconds. In a pie plate, combine the 2 flours. Drain the scallop coins and toss in the flour mixture to coat well. Fry the scallop coins until golden, brown and delicious, about 30 seconds. Serve with the dipping sauce.
