RECIPE FOR: SMOKED ABALONE

Ingredients: 10 abalone   1 onions   1 carrots   1 stalks celery

150ml cooking sake   15gm dashi powder   water   rock salt black pepper corns

Method:
Make a court bouillon with everything except for the abalone. Bring to the boil and then add the abalone. Turn down to a very low simmer (so the bouillon is nearly still but with a ripple) and cook for approx. 3 hours. Remove from the water and cool. To smoke mix 50/50 of bonito and rice in a wok. Place the de shelled and gutted abalone on a cake rack over the wok and cover with another wok. Heat the wok until a dense smoke is coming from it. Smoke for approx. 3 mins and turn off to rest.
Remove and store in an airtight container
