Steamed abalone with lanterns is a special food in Dalian, Liaoning Province. Although the production process is relatively simple, the ingredients selected are very particular. Let's share the production method with you.

1. Preparation and treatment of ingredients. Steamed abalone with lanterns had better choose fresh abalone with shells, so that abalone has the best flavor, uses the least seasonings and is the healthiest. First, peel off the abalone and shell, and take out the internal organs and teeth. Abalone meat is cut into lantern shapes. Then the abalone meat is packed in the original shell, sprinkled with appropriate amount of minced onion and ginger and salt, and steamed in a steamer for five minutes. The main abalone here needs to be steamed for a long time, which will shrink, and the taste and umami will be greatly reduced. After the abalone is steamed, it is sprinkled with homemade abalone juice, and the delicious steamed lantern abalone is ready.

second, make abalone juice. Abalone juice in steamed abalone with lanterns has the function of finishing touch. First, cook vegetable oil from the pot, add appropriate amount of minced garlic and chopped green onion, pour the abalone juice bought in the market after it is very fragrant, and then boil it until it bubbles and thickens. Abalone juice is finished.

third, the processing method of frozen abalone. Ordinary inland families can make steamed lantern abalone by freezing abalone. The frozen abalone needs special treatment here. Put the frozen abalone directly into cold water to thaw slowly. If the natural water temperature is too high, you can add an appropriate amount of ice. Wash the thawed abalone clean, separate the shell from the meat with a knife, and remove the internal organs and teeth. Then rub it with fine salt, and finally rinse it with cleaning.

fourth, the choice of abalone. Choosing good abalone is the key to this dish. Abalone must be in good shape, and the meat quality of abalone should be elastic and the bottom should be wide and fat. The appearance and color of abalone with good quality are normal, and the freshness of abalone will decrease as time goes on, and spots will appear on the body.

Although abalone is rich in nutrition and delicious, attention should be paid to eating abalone, and patients with gout and cold should try not to use abalone. Infants and young children also try not to eat abalone food.
