This delicacy combines the subtlety of abalone with the intensity of oyster sauce, creating a sophisticated gastronomic experience. Ideal for celebrations or special dinners, this dish stands out for its balance between sweetness and saltiness, and its glossy sauce that enhances every bite.
Abalone, whether fresh or canned, absorbs the flavors of the sauce during slow braising, resulting in tender and juicy meat. The oyster sauce, along with soy sauce and ginger, adds depth and an aromatic touch that perfectly complements the seafood.

If using fresh abalones, clean and tenderize them. If using canned abalones, rinse and drain them.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or deep pan over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the abalones to the wok and sear them for 1-2 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown.
In a separate bowl, mix the chicken broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and sesame oil.
Pour the sauce mixture over the abalones, and let it come to a simmer.
Cover the wok and reduce the heat to low. Allow the abalones to braise for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and the sauce thickens.
While braising, flip the abalones occasionally and baste them with the sauce.
Once the abalones are tender, remove them from the wok and arrange them on a serving platter.
Increase the heat to high and reduce the sauce until it thickens further. This will take about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the thickened sauce over the abalones.
Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro (if desired).
