Russian Abalone in Chicken Sauce

Overview

The meat of abalone is delicious and it is a valuable seafood. However, it is not a fish, but a single-valve mollusk that crawls on rocks below the low tide line in shallow seas. There are many types of abalone and they are widely distributed. Abalone is distributed along the coast of my country. In the north, Dalian and Changshan Island produce more abalone, and the ones they produce are Panda abalone, which are larger and ovoid in shape. This abalone I searched on Baidu is somewhat similar to the Pan Da abalone. The first time I made such a large abalone, I used stupid chicken soup and then cooked it in chicken stock. The texture is still unique to abalone, firm and tough. It’s definitely delicious, but I wonder if the big abalone would be more delicious if cooked differently.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 I bought a stupid chicken, also known as a wood-fired chicken, washed it and cut it into pieces

   

2. 2 Boil in a pot of cold water

   

3. 3 After the pot boils, skim off the foam

   

4. 4 Put the ginger and Sichuan pepper into the seasoning box and put the ginger into the pot

   

5. 5 Turn to low heat and simmer for about 2 hours. The time depends on the tenderness of the chicken you bought. The older the chicken, the longer it will take to cook.

   

6. 6 When cooking chicken soup, you can prepare the abalone. First, clean the mucous membrane on the outside of the abalone

   

7. 7 Use a sharp knife to make diagonal cuts on the body of the abalone, with the knife edges spaced about 6mm apart. Do not cut until the depth reaches the bottom of the abalone. Cut smoothly to the end

   

8. 8 Lift the knife and twist the direction of the abalone 90 degrees, and continue cutting

   

9. 9 A mesh-like cross pattern

   

10. 10 Stewed chicken soup, as long as the soup does not contain meat

    

11. 11 Put the processed abalone into the cooking pot, ladle in the cooked chicken soup,

    

12. 12 Cover the abalone and put it on the fire (the soup should be more and the cooking time will be longer) and cook slowly over a very small fire

    

13. 13 Cook until 2/3 of the chicken soup is consumed. Use chopsticks to pierce it easily and remove the abalone and place it on a plate

    

14. 14 Add a small spoonful of oyster sauce to the pot to add color and flavor

    

15. 15 After boiling, add a little water starch to thinly thicken the gravy

    

16. 16 After boiling the pot, pour the chicken broth onto the abalone,
