Dried
Dried abalone is a dehydrated banquet ingredient central to Cantonese and wider Chinese haute cuisine. Grades by size, origin, and workmanship command extraordinary prices. Rehydration takes days of soaking and gentle simmering before braising in rich stock. Never rush rehydration with hard boiling. Use the soaking liquid in the braise. Store dried abalone airtight and cool; it is a cellar luxury, not a weeknight shortcut.
