Ingredients
- 2 fresh green abalone*
- 500 g sea cucumber*
- Oil, for cooking
- 20 whole cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 cup spring onions, cut in 2-3 cm lengths
- ½ cup thinly sliced carrots
- 80 mL chicken stock
- 80 mL soya sauce
- 80 mL Chinese brown vinegar
- 40 mL rice wine
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons cornflour
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Fresh abalone and sea cucumber
Directions
Put the abalone into the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to 'put it to sleep'. This will make it easier to remove from the shell. When chilled, lift it out of the shell with a very strong, thin, steel-bladed knife. Carefully cut and lever between the flesh and the shell, making sure not to pierce the flesh as it gives a bad taste. Remove the intestines from the flesh very carefully, too.
Slice the sea cucumber and abalone very thinly.
Heat wok to a high heat, then add the oil. Add all the cloves of garlic and stir fry for a few minutes.
Add spring onion, and then add the sea cucumber, chicken stock, soya sauce, carrots, vinegar, rice wine and sugar. Stir through the abalone last. Cook for only a minute.
Mix cornflour with a little cold water, then stir through the mixture.
Add sesame oil.
Remove from heat and serve with rice or noodles.
