• 1 cup stock – we recommend fish or chicken

How to

Abalone is surprisingly low effort, but high on reward.

One at time, take each abalone and cut into 5-8mm strips, then using meat mallet or rolling pin pound each slice five times, turn and repeat.

Heat the oil in a large wok over a high heat, add the abalone strips and flash fry in batches, turning constantly for 30 seconds., and set aside.

In the same wok, add the curry paste and fry until fragrant. Chuck in the coconut cream, fish sauce and stock and simmer for 2-3  minutes. Drop in the broccolini and cook for another 2 minutes.

Return the abalone to the wok, toss and serve with fresh Asian herbs, chilli, crispy shallots and steamed rice. Seriously good.
