Baby Abalone Glass Noodles

Today is the 8th day of the Rabbit New Year. 祝大家新年快樂,鴻兔大展。

This was a practice dish I a few days before CNY, for serving on CNY Eve. The practice dish was really delicious so I wanted to share the recipe. As it was a practice dish, it had lesser ingredients here, but it will be easy to build up with more ingredients (such as carrots and mushrooms).

Even though this is a CNY dish, it is suitable as an “everyday homely dish” (家常菜) as well, since it is a simple one-dish noodles meal. It is convenient because the main protein – the canned abalones that are leftovers from CNY – will be sitting in the pantry cupboard all year round, so you can make this dish on a whim any time of the year.

I was working throughout the entire Chinese New Year (CNY) including CNY eve, so I took a break from blogging. Now that the my work pace is getting back to normal, I now have the time to resume my blog.

INGREDIENTS

Baby Abalone Glass Noodles Ingredients

These are the main ingredients I used:

  • Mini can of baby abalones – I am using the inexpensive “Flying Wheel” brand containing around 6 baby abalones soaked in a spicy brine. Use your favourite brand of baby abalones that has a tasty broth and preferably free of artificial preservatives for this recipe.
  • Glass noodles (tang hoon/冬粉) – soaked them in a bowl of water until softened.
  • Greens (choy sum/菜心) – separate stems and leaves, cut to even smaller sections. You can use any favourite greens for this recipe.
  • Sauce (for seasoning the noodles) – rich chicken stock from the tetra-pak, soy sauces and fish sauce.
  • Minced ginger and garlic.

STEP-BY-STEP

Baby Abalone Glass Noodles Steps

How to make baby abalone glass noodles:

  • Fry ginger, garlic and choy sum stems.
  • Add soaked glass noodles and sauce.
  • Coat the noodles evenly in the sauce, cover the wok pan and steam for a few minutes.
  • When the noodles have absorbed most of the sauce but still soggy, add the choy sum leaves and stir-fry together.
  • Lastly add in the baby abalones and a few spoons of the broth from the canned abalone and it’s done!
