Recipe 🍳

  1. Heat olive oil in a pan, add minced garlic and stir-fry until golden brown without burning.
  2. In a bowl, combine the butter with the sautéed garlic, parsley flakes, and Parmesan cheese powder to make garlic butter.
  3. Blanch the abalones in boiling water, then remove the beak and separate the meat from the innards using scissors or a knife.
  4. Thinly slice the abalone meat.
  5. In a pot, add 1 tablespoon of garlic butter and the sliced abalone, quickly stir-fry over high heat, then set aside on a plate to preserve texture.
  6. In the same pot, add the abalone innards, minced onion, cooking wine, and soaked rice, and stir-fry until the innards are well coated on the rice.
  7. Pour in the water, cover the pot, and cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes to steam the rice.
  8. After 10 minutes, turn off the heat and let it rest covered for 10 minutes.
  9. Once rested, top the rice with garlic chives, scallions, the pre-cooked abalone slices, and a pat of garlic butter. Mix well and serve.

Cooking tips 💡

  • If you don't have Parmesan cheese powder for the garlic butter, you can substitute it with two pinches of flavored salt to adjust the seasoning.
  • If you cook the abalone meat in the pot from the start, it becomes tough, so lightly sauté it and add it as a garnish at the end.
  • The finished pot rice pairs well with light side dishes. If the flavor is too mild, add a spoonful of seasoned soy sauce and mix.
