Soaked Dried Abalone

Overview

I like the taste of abalone, so I soak it myself, it’s simple and safe

Take a clean, oil-free sealed container for later use. Wash the dried abalone and put it into the container. Add mineral water to cover the dried abalone. Whether in winter or summer, it is recommended to put the container in the refrigerator to refrigerate and soak. The first delivery time is about 24 hours, depending on the size of the abalone
It looks like this after soaking for 24 hours, obviously about twice as big
Simmer the soaked abalone and the old hen on low heat for more than four hours. I used Jiuyuan black chicken. After four or five hours, the soup becomes thick and the meat becomes tender. The abalone completely absorbs the fragrance of the hen, and combined with its own umami, the taste is wonderful. The way of eating is to make the tasteless things taste good and the tasteful things taste good. This is the principle of cooking food. Abalone is a tasteless food, so we have to give it taste
Of course, if you don’t have old hens, you can also boil them in plain water. Similar to this, the taste will naturally be much lighter
The cooked abalone is so long that you can cook it freely at this time, and you can just eat it, with a soft and chewy texture. You can also stew chicken and braise it, the taste will be much more fragrant. Although the process of soaking abalone is not simple, it is safe and secure
