Serves 2
Ingredients
2 Tbs. oil,1-2 Tbs. chopped garlic,2 tsp. chopped ginger,2 Tbs. Chinese oyster sauce,2 tsp. fish sauce,2 Tbs. water,1/2 lb. abalone- pounded and cut into narrow strips 1 1/2 " long,1 lb. asparagus, cut into 2" lengths,1/4 cup cilantro,1 tsp. cornstarch dissolved in 1 Tbs. water
Directions
- Pour milk in a large shallow bowl.
- In another shallow bowl combine flour seasoned with salt and pepper, and corn meal.
- While the butter is melting, dip each abalone steak first into the milk, then the flour mixture, so that each piece is well coated.
- When the butter in the skillet has stopped foaming, quickly sauté each steak on each side no more than 15-20 seconds per side. (Overcooking will cause the abalone to be tough.)
- As each steak is sautéed, remove from the skilet and place on a warm platter.
- When all the steaks are sautéed, sprinkle with lemon juice and parsley. Place platter in a warm oven.
In a heavy skillet, melt 1/4 cup butter and sauté the almonds over moderate heat for 4-6 minutes or until they are golden brown, stirring constantly.
- Remove the platter from the oven, pour the almonds and butter over the abalone, and serve at once.
