Baby abalone and seafood soup

Ingredients (serves 4):
1 can Golden Chef Australian Baby Abalone, drained and sliced lengthwise
5 prawns, washed and peeled
1/2 carrot, sliced
1/2 a long cabbage, leaves washed and cut into half
5 cups clear chicken stock
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground white pepper

Method:
1. Place the chicken stock and carrots in a soup pot and bring to a boil.
2. Lower the heat and add the cabbage and prawns. Let simmer till the prawns are cooked through.
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Before serving, bring the soup to a boil and put in the abalone. Turn off the heat and serve immediately.

Tips:
Recipe uses Golden Chef Australian Baby Abalone ($46.80 for a six- or eight-piece can) available at all FairPrice supermarkets.

Baby abalone needs little cooking, so in most dishes, you drop the abalone in the heat right before serving. Cook it too long and the abalone becomes tough and rubbery.

Feel free to add some seaweed or fish maw.
