🥢 Rehydration and Cooking Suggestions
I. Rehydration Method (Reference) 💧
- Rinse the surface of the South African Hoshigai abalone gently with clean water to remove dust and fine particles.
- Soak in cold water in the refrigerator for approximately 8–12 hours; you may change the water 1–2 times during the process to allow the dried abalone to soften slowly and maintain a fresh flavour.
- After soaking, place the abalone together with the soaking water in a pot and simmer over low heat. Add ginger slices, scallion sections, and a little rice wine to allow the abalone to fully absorb the broth.
II. Recommended Dishes 🍳
- Oyster King South African Hoshigai Abalone: Season with oyster sauce, stock, rock sugar, and dark soy sauce. Simmer over low heat to reduce the sauce, creating a braised abalone that is shiny, oily, and leaves a sweet aftertaste.
- South African Abalone Buddha Jumps Over the Wall: Stewed with fish maw, dried scallops, sea cucumber, pork ribs, etc. The rich broth is suitable for New Year's Eve dinners and wedding banquets.
- Abalone Stewed Chicken / Abalone Health Soup: Stewed with old hen, pork ribs, or pork trotters. Rich in gelatin, this is a premium seafood soup for daily nourishment.
- Abalone Clay Pot Rice and Congee: Slice the rehydrated South African dried abalone and add it to clay pot rice or Cantonese congee; the whole pot of rice and congee is filled with the fresh aroma of abalone.

⚠️ Friendly Reminder
- Dried abalone is a concentrated seafood ingredient; it is recommended to simmer over low heat to avoid boiling over with high heat, preserving the South African Hoshigai abalone's springy texture and aroma.
- Store any uneaten abalone in an airtight container or sealed bag and refrigerate or freeze to prevent moisture absorption and spoilage.📦
- You can taste before seasoning and adjusting salt and sauces before cooking to let the natural sweetness of the South African dried abalone stand out more.
