Braised Mushrooms and Fish Maw with Abalone
For this dish, I'm using canned South African abalone, and I have to say I'm really impressed by their size. They’re ready to eat, so all you need to do is just heat them through slightly in the braising sauce. As for the fish maw, they’re like sponges and will soak up all the flavours of the delicious braising sauce.
