Ingredients

  1. 2 Blacklip abalones (fresh or defrosted)
  2. 3-4 tablespoons salt (for cleaning)
  3. 1 medium carrot, julienned
  4. 3 tablespoons oil (for stir-frying)
  5. 1 garlic clove, minced
  6. 1 small piece ginger, minced
  7. 2 garlic shoots (or substitute with spring onions), chopped
  8. 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  9. 1/2 tablespoon anchovy salt (or regular salt)
  10. 1/2 tablespoon sugar
  11. 1/4 cup chicken stock (or vegetable broth)
  12. 1 tablespoon water (for cornstarch mixture)
  13. 1/2 tablespoon potato or corn starch
  14. White pepper (for seasoning)
  15. A light drizzle of sesame oil
  16. Freshly steamed rice (for serving)
  17. Shichi-mi tōgarashi (optional for garnish)

Method

  1. Using your hands, vigorously agitate abalone with 3-4 tablespoons of salt to remove any slimy residue, then rinse off all the salt.
  2. With a small pairing knife carefully separate the frilly outer layer of the abalone from its main body.
  3. Chop the frilly layer into 2-3 cm pieces and slice the main body of abalone into medium-sized thin slices.
  4. In a medium bowl, add carrot, a pinch of sea salt, and pour in boiling water to cover well. Allow carrots to blanch for 2 minutes, then strain and rinse well under cold water and set aside.
  5. In a large fry pan or wok on medium heat, add 3 tablespoons of oil, garlic, and ginger. Cook until fragrant, then remove pan off heat. Add abalone and toss for 30 seconds or until abalone starts to cook through, then remove and set aside.
  6. Return pan to medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of oil, and heat to smoking point. Add carrot, garlic shoots, oyster sauce, anchovy salt, and sugar and stir fry for 1 minute, then add chicken stock and bring to the boil.
  7. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of water with ½ tablespoon of potato or corn starch, and stir well until combined. Drizzle evenly into stir fry and immediately mix well.
  8. Return stir-fried abalone and cook on medium-high for 30 seconds or until sauce thickens.
  9. Remove from heat and season with cracked white pepper, a light drizzle of sesame oil and serve with freshly steamed rice.
