Cách làm

1. 1

   Since we’re using dried mushrooms, we’ll have to rehydrate them first so that they’ll be soft enough to cook.

2. 2

   Prepare the lettuce by cutting off and discarding the ends. Pull the leaves apart, then wash with clean water. If the lettuce seems particularly dirty, scrub those parts well with your fingers and rinse off the debris.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, create the sauce by combining oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, salt, water, white pepper, and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly.

4. 4

   When the mushrooms are hydrated and soft, cut and discard the stems. You can use either kitchen shears or a knife to cut the stems.

5. 5

   In a wok or pot, bring water to a boil. Add oil and salt to the water. The oil and salt slightly season the lettuce, help preserve its color and texture, and also give it a beautiful shiny gloss.

6. 6

   Pour the water out from your wok and dry it. Then, turn the heat to high and add oil. Before the oil gets too hot (we don’t want to burn our aromatics), add the garlic and ginger. Cook until fragrant, or 30-40 seconds.

7. 7

   When everything has come to a boil, uncover the wok to add the abalone. Once the abalone is in, cover the wok back up and cook for a minute. The canned abalone is cooked, so they just need to be heated through here.

8. 8

   Then, turn the heat down to low and uncover the wok. Add the sauce while constantly stirring the ingredients in the wok. Increase the heat to medium and cook the sauce until it’s at your desired consistency. Keep in mind that as it cooks down and thickens, the flavor gets more concentrated.

9. 9

   Add the lettuce to your serving plate now if you didn't before. Then, layer the mushrooms over the lettuce, and arrange the abalone pieces on top. The sauce from the mushrooms and abalone will flow down to flavor the lettuce. Enjoy!
