Steamed Abalones with Vermicelli

Steamed Abalones with Vermicelli

Preparation time:

  • 20mins

 

Cooking time:

  • 6-7mins

 

Specialty:

  • Dairy-free
  • Gluten-free

 

Abalone is one of the top delicacies in Chinese cuisine, often ordered if you're looking to celebrate occasions. It's a difficult and delicate shellfish and easily overcooked - which means it will be chewy. Usually a starter or appetizer, they can be prepared as simple as steaming with soy sauce, ginger and spring onion to being slow-cook braised for hours with various herbs and sauces. This versatile shellfish easily soaks up all flavors it is cooked with and adds a bit of luxury for our weekend dinners. We added vermicelli (an Asian pasta variety) to the advice of Ben's mum, to soak up all that juicy flavor. 

 

Ingredients (2 Servings):

  • 2 Abalones (6oz each)
  • 60g Vermicelli
  • Ginger (Thumb-size)
  • Organic Soy Sauce (Gluten-free)
  • Extra-virgin Olive Oil
  • Fresh Spring Onion

 

Instructions:

  • Clean the abalones via removing the shell with a spoon and scraping the mussel with a brush. Make sure you remove all the black dirt from the abalone. 
  • Finely slice the ginger and season the abalones with organic soy sauce, extra-virgin olive oil and ginger.
  • Pre-heat a wok with some water on the bottom and the bamboo steamer (if you don't have it you can steam the abalone with other appliances).
  • Add the vermicelli to a ceramic bowl with 1/4 cut of water and pour the abalones on top of the vermicelli with all the seasoning.
  • Cook in the bamboo steamer for 6-7 minutes. 
  • Once ready, season it with freshly diced scallion.
