Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Clean the abalones thoroughly under cold running water; gently scrub the shells and remove any grit. Slice king oyster mushrooms into thick coins about 1/2-inch thick, keeping the texture.

  2. 2

    Blanch baby bok choy in boiling water for 30 seconds until just tender and bright green. Drain and set aside to prevent overcooking and maintain crispness.

  3. 3

    In a sauté pan, heat 1/2 cup of chicken stock over medium heat. Add scallions and ginger slices, then add the abalones. Simmer on low for 10 minutes to infuse aroma and tenderize without toughening.

  4. 4

    Add mushrooms and remaining 1 cup chicken stock to the pan, increasing heat to medium-high. Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, and sugar; gently braise for 8–10 minutes, allowing sauce to reduce by half.

  5. 5

    Mix cornstarch with 2 tbsp water to make a slurry. Gradually add to the simmering pan, stirring until the sauce thickens glossy and coats the mushrooms and abalones evenly. Finish with sesame oil before turning off the heat.

  6. 6

    Arrange the baby bok choy around the serving platter. Carefully plate the abalones and mushrooms, spoon sauce over, and serve immediately for ideal temperature and texture.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What are the key ingredients in this banquet-style abalone mushroom recipe?
The defining ingredients are fresh abalone and king oyster mushrooms—the abalone provides a delicate, oceanic tenderness, while king oyster mushrooms offer a meaty, umami-rich texture. Baby bok choy adds freshness, and chicken stock forms the savory base. The combination of soy sauce and oyster sauce deepens the flavors for a truly luxurious banquet dish.
Q. How can I keep the abalone tender during braising?
Simmer the abalone in chicken stock over low heat for just 10 minutes before adding the other ingredients. This gentle simmer infuses flavor without making the abalone tough; avoid high heat or overcooking, as delicate seafood like abalone can easily become rubbery.
Q. How do I achieve the perfect glossy sauce consistency?
After braising the mushrooms and abalone, gradually add a cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) to the simmering sauce. Stir constantly at medium heat until the sauce thickens and coats each ingredient evenly. This method provides a classic banquet-style, glossy finish.
Q. How many calories and protein are in each serving?
Each serving is about 180g and contains approximately 170 kcal, with 13 grams of protein. The protein makes up 31% of the caloric content, so it's a relatively lean, protein-focused option for celebration feasts.
