Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh abalone
- 1 liter chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 units garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 200 grams bok choy
- 150 grams shiitake mushrooms
- 2 units green onions
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by cleaning the fresh abalone. Rinse thoroughly under cold water, scrub the shells, and shuck the abalone. Slice the abalone meat into thin strips, roughly 5 mm thick.
In a large pot, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of grated ginger, saute until fragrant, approximately 2 minutes.
Add the sliced abalone to the pot and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until lightly golden.
Pour in 1 liter of chicken broth, bringing it to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 20 minutes to infuse the broth with flavors.
While the broth is simmering, slice the bok choy into manageable pieces, trim and slice the shiitake mushrooms, and chop the green onions finely.
Add the bok choy and shiitake mushrooms to the pot. Allow the soup to simmer for another 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Season the soup with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce (optional for added umami), 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Just before serving, stir in the chopped green onions for a fresh burst of flavor.
Ladle the keto hearty abalone soup into bowls and enjoy it hot as a warming meal.
