Top - quality abalone with a soft - boiled center!
Braised abalone with a soft, gooey center is the pinnacle of all dried abalone. This is because its texture, flavor, and nutritional value are superior, making it the top choice for all abalone lovers.
To make braised abalone with a soft, gooey center, it must undergo multiple drying processes, as fresh abalone does not have this characteristic. This type of dried abalone has a darker, brownish color, with a rich sugary taste (derived from the transformation of some proteins in the fresh abalone itself) and a distinct abalone fragrance, differing from sun-dried abalone.
When fully dried abalone with a soft, gooey center is stored for a period, a layer of white frost will appear on its surface. This is due to proteins from the abalone emerging to the surface. Far from harming the abalone's quality, it is one of the important signs of high-grade abalone.
While the sun-drying techniques for braised abalone with a soft, gooey center vary among producers, the selection of raw materials is consistent: only fresh and larger abalone must be chosen. Small abalone are difficult to process into decent soft-centered dried abalone, and fresh abalone, due to protein degradation, cannot be processed into soft-centered abalone.
Even when 100 catties of fresh abalone are processed into dried abalone, braised abalone with a soft, gooey center retains about 90% of the weight of sun-dried abalone. Therefore, when we rehydrate braised abalone with a soft, gooey center, we will find that its volume is slightly larger than that of sun-dried abalone. This is also one of the reasons why braised abalone with a soft, gooey center is more expensive than sun-dried abalone.
Among bird's nest, abalone, and shark fin, abalone is the most prized. While the other two essentially have no flavor of their own, abalone truly possesses a unique and distinctive taste.
