A Saucy Cantonese Abalone Stir Fry
Seafood hits different when you treat it right. Stir fry abalone with high heat and finish it with a sticky, savoury sauce for a weeknight dinner treat.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 300 g abalone
- Whites from a bunch of scallions
- A few slices of ginger
- A few cloves of garlic minced
- Two shallots cut into sections
- 1 tsp sesame oil
For the sauce
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp shaoxing wine
- 1 tbsp sugar
- Corn starch to thicken if desired
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients and the sauce.
- Get a pan on high heat and add oil.
- Fry aromatics until fragrant. Add abalone and stir fry briefly, until they change colour.
- Add sauce and stir vigorously to mix with the rest of the ingredients.
- Turn the heat off and add sesame oil. Stir to combine, then serve hot.
Notes
Note: with this much heat in the pan and this little sauce, I find that the sauce reduces readily and so the corn starch is not necessary at all.
