Yes scallops are common in fried rice but the OP’s comment was that the method for cooking crab and scallops was very interesting. I believe the comment was in relation to the scallops being of a wet texture. This is the Hokkien inspired method, i.e, Hokkien fried rice is served with a layer of sauce.

This is technically fried rice WITH caviar and seafood. But it's a version of a Hokkien fried rice in a high-end setting. That scallion paste is interesting and something i never thought of. I may give that a try.

Defeats the purpose of frying the rice when you add so much sauce from the crab & scallops mixture.

If that's the price of Man Wah, it will definitely be worth it, but just ordering one item may not satisfy my belly
