My man bought few of these South Africa's canned abalones last month. 2 flavours, one is brown sauce and another is clear soup. Around RM30 per can. 5 pieces in a can.
And then just early this month, he bought few more cans again from the same friend. Also in brown sauce but bigger abalones. 3 pieces in a can. I used one of this for our reunion dinner.
It is very simple to prepare. Just take out the abalones from the can and pour the sauce in a sauce pot. Heat up the sauce. Directly pour the sauce onto the abalone. Serve warm.

Abalones in brown sauce
On first day of CNY, I tried the abalones in clear soup for dinner.
It had 5 smaller abalones in the can. The broth wasn't clear as it stated.
So, again I boiled the soup first. When it boiled, I tossed in the abalones, let them heat up for few seconds before turned off the heat.
I steamed some broccoli and arranged them in a bowl with the abalones and pour some of the soup on them.
My personal opinion?? I liked the brown sauce better. Must immediately enjoy the abalones while they are warm.
We have few more cans in the pantry. Will devour them slowly. Next indulgence of abalone would be on Chap Goh Mei.
SO CHEAP!!! I only know New Moon, over RM100 a can now...and no longer as nice as before. I will not want to buy!
ReplyDeleteLook nice :)
ReplyDeleteNowadays abalones are quite cheap compared to my younger days when I could only ate a tiny piece during wedding receptions. Nowadays they come in affordable prices, I notice.... anyway, like you, I also cook once when there is special occasion.
ReplyDeleteyea, abalone must be eaten warm...The brown sauce looks like those served in restaurant.
ReplyDeleteAre the abalones soft enough to be easily eaten? I prefer sea cucumbers to abalones due to the texture as both are tasteless and depends on the gravy or broth to give them taste.
ReplyDeleteI have a big can and 2 small cans of abalone, all given by friends. Thanks for the tips of how to just heat up the broth of the abalone.
ReplyDeleteThanks, now I know how to prepare this delicacy. One question, why not cut the abalone into bite pieces ya?
ReplyDeleteWe cut it after photo was taken. Haha.
DeleteMy youngest sis gave us a can of abalone as CNY gift, did not notice the brand as I am not really a fan because I agree with Mun, abalones are tasteless and depends on the gravy or broth to give them taste. My mom also bought a can of abalone, the brand I think is Happy Family. My mom likes abalone maybe because it is a delicacy.
