1. 1　用水浸軟金蠔，洗淨，蒸15分鐘，切小粒。

   1　材料中的金蠔、瑤柱及火腿必須先蒸熟後才用來製作XO醬，這樣炒出來的XO醬便更加耐存。
   2　般製作XO醬的蝦米都是用整隻的，除了是可吃到蝦米的口感外，在賣相上見到原隻蝦米，感覺上真材實料一

3. 些。但今次我將蝦米略為舂碎來做XO醬，目的是讓蝦米的味道更能與其他材料融合，更可令「醬」的質感更實在一些，吃起來另有一番風味。同樣地，將火腿用手撕成細絲代替用刀切碎，道理也是一樣。所以，想食到最佳的XO醬效果，當然要花點時間和耐性喔。

   4　材料的先後次序都是有目的及其作用的，先下的材料都是水分較多的，其一是讓材料內的水分有足夠時間釋出，其二是令後下的材料不需炒煮太長時間，而令材料太乾而變得硬身。

   Tips
   1　Semi-dried oysters, dried scallops and ham must be steamed until done before used．The XO sauce will last

9. much longer that way.
   2　In most XO sauces, the dried shrimps are put in whole．On the up side, you get the mouthfeel of the dried shrimps and get to see them whole．Yet, in this recipe, I crush them so that they blend in with the favours of other ingredients better．The sauce also feels fner and more favourful．Similarly, tear the ham apart with your

10. fngers instead of chopping it for better texture and favour．To make the best XO sauce, you must put in time and patience.
    3　When you fry the XO sauce, always put it over low heat．You can lengthen the cooking process that way so as to allow time for the moisture to evaporate slowly．The XO sauce will end up more tender in texture and

11. last a lot longer because of the lack of moisture.
    4　Make sure you follow the order in which ingredients go in the wok．The moister an ingredient is, the earlier it goes in to allow time for water to evaporate．Those ingredients that go in later don't take long to cook and they may become too dry and chewy if cooked for too long.
