* this dish is inspired by my photographer friend Ann Choi during the COVID19 home quarantine and home cooking peak season! You can substitute/add chicken wings, ducks tongue etc as you like :)
Ingredients
Fresh abalones - 10-20pc
Sliced Ginger and some spring onion
Chicken Wings and/or Ducks' Tongue - qty you like
Gooseberries 紀子- a bunch
Dried Longan 龍眼- a bunch
Huadiao wine 花雕酒 or 太雕酒- 200-250ml
Zaolu 糟滷- 100-150ml (this is salty so beware not to add ,more than this)
hot water - 150ml
Rock Sugar or brown sugar - 2-3tsp
How to Make:
1. Wash and rinse the gooseberries and longan and soak them in water for 10-15 min. Drain water.
2. Now the DRUNKEN MARINATE - Melt the sugar with 150ml hot water. Then add the soften gooseberries and longan + Huadiao, Zaolu. Taste first and adjust accordingly. Put this marinate to an airtight box big enough to hold all the abalones, chicken wings and/or ducks tongue!
3. Remove abalones from shells and wash under tap. Use toothbrush to brush all the sides/skirt. Remove guts.
4. Wash and wipe clean chicken wings and marinate with Dark Soy Sauce for around 15 min.
5. Boil a pot of water with ginger slice and spring onion. Once boil, put the cleaned abalones to the pot and cook for 5-10 min.
6. Then remove all abalones and put them to a bowl of ice and ice water immediately to avoid it from further cooking and meat becomes tough.
7. Once abalones cool down, put the abalones to the air tight box with the Drunken Marinate. Leave overnight in fridge.
8. For chicken wings, blanch them in boiling water for 8-10 min. Then remove them to a bowl of ice water with ice immediately to avoid them from further cooking and meat becomes tough. Add to the air tight box with the Drunken Marinate.
Enjoy it as a cold appertizer with a glass of sake or beer! In winter times, this dish can be served hot by steaming it for 5-10 minutes.
