Braised Abalone and Broccoli in Oyster Sauce is an excellent dish for special occasions, featuring an Asian culinary delicacy. The abalone is braised until tender and then coated with a flavorful savory sauce.
Abalone is a marine mollusk and is considered a premium ingredient in many Asian cuisines. It has a mild flavor and a chewy texture which can become tender and buttery when cooked right.
You can come across braised abalone with oyster sauce in some fine restaurants in Vietnam. It is also my favorite way to cook abalone at home. The dish is called “bào ngư sốt dầu hào”.
The mild flavor of abalone goes pretty well with the nutty taste of broccoli. Besides, the crispness of blanched broccoli adds more textures to the dish. This braised abalone with broccoli is an excellent dish for special occasions and holidays, such as Lunar New Year.
