Preparation of steamed abalone with minced garlic
Abalone, known as the "soft **" of the ocean, has delicate meat and rich nutrition, and is a treasure at a high-end banquet. The steamed garlic abalone perfectly combines the deliciousness of the abalone with the aroma of minced garlic, which makes people have an endless aftertaste. Below, let's learn how to make this delicious steamed garlic abalone.
First, prepare the materials. Fresh abalone, garlic, ginger, green onions, salt, chicken bouillon, cooking wine, and light soy sauce are required. Handle the abalone, remove the shell and gutt, and then cut the knife on both sides of the abalone to make it easier to absorb the flavor. Meanwhile, mince the garlic, ginger and green onion and set aside.
Next, marinate the abalone. Mix the chopped garlic, minced ginger, minced green onion, salt, chicken essence, cooking wine and light soy sauce, stir well, spread on both sides of the abalone, and marinate for 10 minutes to allow the seasoning to fully absorb the flavor of the seasoning.
Then, the abalone is steamed. Put the marinated abalone on a plate (put green onions and ginger on both sides of the abalone) and steam for 10 minutes. The steaming time should be adjusted according to the size of the abalone to ensure that it is fully cooked.
Finally, remove the abalone, sprinkle with chopped green onions, pour hot oil over and enjoy. The hot oil brings out the aroma of minced garlic and green onions, making the abalone even more delicious.
There are a few tips to be aware of during the cooking process. First of all, when buying abalone, choose fresh and firm texture. Secondly, the steaming time should be well controlled to avoid overripeness or undercooking. Finally, when pouring hot oil, you can drop a few drops of soy sauce on the chopped green onions, which can increase the umami flavor of the dish.
The above is how to steam garlic abalone.
