Uses
Global cooking methods

China - Steamed Abalone:
Steaming is a classic method of cooking seafood in China, which can retain the original flavor and taste of abalone to the greatest extent.
Handling: After thawing the frozen abalone, remove it from its shell using a spoon, discard the internal organs and mouthparts, scrub off the black attachments with a brush, and make slashes on the back.
Cooking: Once the steamer is boiling, place the abalone inside and steam over high heat for 5-7 minutes.
Seasoning: Boil oyster sauce, light soy sauce, rock sugar, and water to make a sauce, thicken it with cornstarch, pour it over the steamed abalone, and garnish with cilantro or scallions.

Australia - Pan-Fried / Slow Cooked:
Australian cooking methods exhibit a polarization, either extremely fast or extremely slow, aimed at addressing the issue of abalone's tendency to become tough. Pan-searing (fast): After slicing the abalone thinly, heat a pan with garlic and ginger to create a fragrant oil. Once the pan is removed from the heat, quickly stir-fry the abalone slices for about 30 seconds using the residual heat, to avoid overheating and resulting in toughness.
Slow Cooking (Slow): Place the prepared abalone into a vacuum-sealed bag and cook it slowly at a low temperature of 75°C for up to 40 hours. After taking it out, slice it and use the juice that has seeped out of the bag, along with sake, oyster sauce, sugar, etc., to make a sauce and pour it over.

Korea - Gochujang Butter Baked Abalone:
Korean cuisine excels in combining bold seasonings, pairing abalone with spicy and salty Korean gochujang sauce and fragrant butter.
Handling: Use pre-processed (de-shelled, cleaned, lightly patted, sliced, and re-shelled) frozen abalone products.Cooking: Place the frozen abalone directly into the oven and bake at 200°C for about 8 minutes; if it has already thawed, bake for 6 minutes.
Seasoning: Before baking, divide the complimentary Korean spicy butter into small pieces and place them on each abalone. After baking, drizzle with fresh lemon juice and enjoy.

Singapore - Lo Hei / Yusheng:
During the Lunar New Year in Singapore, "Laoqi" is one of the most representative dishes, and abalone is often incorporated into it, symbolizing wealth and prosperity.
Preparation: Use pre-canned or defrosted abalone and slice them thinly. Arrange various shredded vegetables (such as radish shreds, sweet ginger shreds, etc.) in a large plate.
Cooking: This dish does not require heating. Place the abalone slices in the center of the vegetable shreds.
Seasoning: Prepare a sauce by mixing sour mandarin orange, fish sauce, sugar, and cilantro. When serving, everyone uses chopsticks to lift the ingredients high and shout auspicious words at the same time.
Enjoy: After stirring evenly, serve directly. The taste is refreshing and appetizing.

IQF (Individually Quick Frozen): Each abalone is frozen separately; easy to take individual pieces.
Block frozen: Abalone are frozen together in a solid block; requires thawing the entire block.
Why does abalone become tough and rubbery?
Overcooking. Use either very short (30–60 seconds) or very long (slow cook for hours) methods.
Can frozen abalone be eaten raw (as sashimi)?
Only if it is labeled as "sashimi-grade / sushi-grade".
Regular frozen abalone should be cooked thoroughly.
