Steamed Abalone With Minced Garlic Recipe | My Chinese Recipes

Tips: Add more minced garlic would be tastier. Add more bean vermicelli noodles if you desire. It could be the main ingredient of this dish as well.

Steamed abalone is our favorite dish for night snack...😜 Do you know how to make it

Steamed Abalones with Ginger and Spring Onions/Scallions

This is a very popular dish in Chinese restaurants at Sydney.  I created my own recipe for the sauce trying to replicate the restaurant dish.  Everyone who has tasted my dish exclaiming that it got the exact taste like the one in Chinese restaurants.

I first put up the recipe on my old blog many years ago using oyster sauce and soy sauce for the dressing.  However, I met some Chinese friends who told me oyster sauce was not good to consume often. Therefore, I omit oyster sauce and use both dark and light soy sauce to make the dressing.  I have 2 versions of soy sauce dressing below for you to try. I love both of them for the taste but prefer the 2 soy sauce dressing.

Steamed Abalones with Gingers and Spring Onions/Scallions

Ingredients:

1 dozen of baby abalones, removed, cleaned and washed then put back to the shells

5 green onion/shallot (white part), cut into 5cm long, cut into julienne strips

2, 3 slices of ginger, cut into julienne strips

5 stalks of coriander, cut into 5cm long.

For Oyster and Soy Sauce dressing:

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

½  tablespoon Maggi soy sauce

½ cup (125ml) water

½ teaspoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon olive oil (or sunflower oil)

For Dark and Light Soy Sauce dressing:

½ tablespoon dark soy sauce sauce

½  tablespoon Maggi soy sauce

½ cup (125ml) water

½ teaspoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon olive oil (or sunflower oil)

1 pinch of salt

Method:

Combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, water, sugar and oil in a saucepan, bring to the boil, reduce heat to simmer.

Steam abalones with shells in a steamer/ steam oven for 5-10 minutes depending on the heat of your steamer (do not overcook them, they will be tough).

Preheat a serving plate in microwave or oven.

Arrange steamed abalones on the preheated plate, pour hot dressing all over the abalones, sprinkle shallot, ginger, coriander. Sprinkle ground pepper on top. Serve immediately.

Note: you should ask the fishmonger to remove abalones' shells for you.
