Treat your ingredients with care...
- Abalone — Tenderizing the abalone is crucial to achieve a tender texture. Gently pound the abalone to break down the muscle fibers before cooking.
- Oyster sauce — Choose a high-quality oyster sauce for the best flavor. Look for brands that use real oysters in their sauce for an authentic taste.
Tips & Tricks
- If fresh abalone is not available, you can use canned abalone as a substitute. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- For an extra layer of flavor, add a splash of Shaoxing wine to the sauce mixture before braising.
- Serve the dish with steamed bok choy or Chinese broccoli for a complete meal.
Serving advice
