5- 10 minutes. The cooking time range of abalone is based on general experience. The cooking time should be controlled within 5- 10 minutes to keep its tender and smooth taste. If the cooking time exceeds 10 minute, the abalone will become overcooked, the meat will become hard and the taste will become worse. On the contrary, if the time is less than 5 minutes, the abalone will not be fully cooked, which will bring health risks.
You can judge the maturity by observing the color change of abalone and touching its elasticity. When the meat quality of abalone changes from translucent to white, and it is elastic when pressed lightly, it can be said that abalone is ripe.
