Ingredients

Directions

  1. Rinse the abalone well and blanch in hot water for a few seconds to remove surface impurities.
  2. Make small cross-hatch incisions on the top of each abalone to allow the sauce to penetrate.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine the dashi stock, sake, sugar, Japanese soy sauce, tamari, and grated ginger.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring gently until the sugar dissolves.
  5. Add the prepared abalone to the simmering liquid.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for about 10 minutes, or until the abalone is tender but still slightly firm.
  7. Remove the abalone from the heat and serve immediately, spooning the warm sauce over the top.
