Wash and soak the conpoy in cold water for at least 30 minutes before use. For soups, you can reserve the soaking liquid to be added to the soups as the conpoy flavors have already been extracted into the water.
One of the benefits of using conpoy is that since they have such rich and concentrated umami flavor, you can reduce the amount of salt or even eliminate salt in your dish.
Even adding a few pieces of dried scallops completely elevates the flavor of a humble bowl of congee. Smaller sized dried scallops or broken pieces are best for soups or congees while larger ones can be served whole.
