If the abalone is large, it usually takes about 10 minutes to cook. If the abalone is smaller, cook it for 5-8 minutes. Also, if the abalone is cooked in its shell, it needs to be cooked for 10 minutes, whereas if it is cooked in its shell, it only needs 5-8 minutes. The freshness of the abalone and personal taste will also affect the cooking time. Fresh abalone can be cooked for a shorter time for a more tender flavor. If the abalone is not very fresh, it needs to be cooked for a slightly longer time to ensure food safety. When cooking abalone, fire control is also important to avoid overcooking resulting in poor taste. It is recommended to add some ginger, scallion and other seasonings, which can remove the fishy flavor and enhance the taste.
