I can't find, where you got the shiitake mushrooms, in the description.
If you live in America atm (jan 2023), that's about $15 worth of lettuce.
Initially when seeing the thumbnail, I thought it was an ear. 🤦♂️
Flashed back to Mike Tyson incident
BTW, geoduck is not pronounced geo-duck, but gooey-duck.
Okay but that gorgeous crab on the dining table is like THE best dish there. Crab recipe please!
I love abalone! It’s my favorite ❤❤
I failed 3 years in abalones I skipped two years, am happy daddy lau made this
Abalone with lettuce?!
You have 1M subs and this is what you feature?!
Ok… we all need a break
If you have a Korean market near your area, you can get fresh frozen abalone and sea cucumber.
save the dried mushroom feet!!!! You can pulverize them with an espresso grinder & make Shiitake mushroom powder for soups and stews!!!
You can buy 活鮑魚 at the pier at Half Moon Bay in Northern California. There are also farms in Santa Cruz area
It’s hardly the most expensive. The abalone in the video are quite small and I’d be embarrassed to serve this to guests. The abalone need to be at least palm-sized. The wild-caught ones from Mexico are the best. When it comes to the most expensive, that will be the “holy trinity” of braised abalone, sea cucumber and 花胶. I don’t think that’s a recipe we’ll see on Made with Lau any time soon since prepping the dried abalone and sea cucumber will take days, as will the braising.
Cans of abalone were on sale at Costco the week before CNY. We bought some for the convenience but we were already rehydrating the dried ones (multiple day process plus a very lengthy braise) so we haven't even tried them yet.
Also, what is with that weird pronunciation of geoduck? What kind of West Coast Asian doesn't know it's pronounced "gooey-duck"??
OMG THE BAYBEHS!!!!!
Yo Randy! Have your dad teach us how to make dried abalone! So we need pigs feet receipt!
Any particular lettuce? Did Cam have any? Who's the third baby? Congratulations!!!
Such tumbnails make me press the "don't recommend videos from this channel" button. Eks dee.
You can get farmed frozen (maybe even fresh) abalone now (the wild is the one that you have to have a special license for and limits etc). Hong Doy speaks!!
this dish has a special meaning for chinese, thank you Master Lau!
Вкусно! 👍 Yummy!👍👍
Since it was such an auspicious dish my mom always made this for the Lunar New Year. It was my favorite but I never got the chance to learn the recipe.! Thank you Daddy Lau for helping to keep these memories and traditions alive.
Geoduck is basically a giant clam and it’s delicious! Also, phonetically it sounds like Gooey-duck
Wow, that's crazy, it's hard to get live/fresh abalone in the US?
Here in Melbourne, in Australia, I can order frozen online (AU$30/kg), or buy them live from either the Queen Victoria Market (AU$10/each) or from the Footscray Live Fish seller (AU$15/each).
Or, I can legally take 10 from the waters around Victoria.
Of course, I can get cans or dried from the local Asian grocers.
I have some frozen abalone. Has anyone tried cooking the frozen ones? Trying to figure out cook time…
Just a question, what do you do if you only have raw live or frozen abalone? Steam them then just use water?
As a kid growing up in northern california in the 80's, I remember my mom buying abalone at the grocery store lol. Those days are LONG gone.
My favorited special seafood dish in the restaurant I love it.😃
Abalone is way too overpriced & serve little purposes, no doubt about that… I heard that there’s a can of abalone selling for a ridiculous $250 and even $25 for a can is too expensive. They’re using a $77 can of abalone?!?! It should’ve honestly been $7.70 which is a fair price NOT $77.
I remember my mom used to make this one of her friends taught her how to do it but she never showed me how 😭 now I can make it sometime.
I think the abalone also resembles the old Chinese gold and silver ingot.
My parents would make use of canned abalone back in the day! At a restaurant in Southern China, I had a dish of 3 small abalone for about $1.75. Delicious and the shells were so pretty.
There is a wonderful seafood supplier where I live that has wild New Zealand abalone!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, I have been looking high and low and watched so many others but I found this is the simplest and the best! Many thanks!
I don't understand wasting my time with a video on a dish most people can't afford and even comes out of a can.
lettuce! in this economy!

I remember as a kid over 55 years ago going to Chinese banquets and being served abalone. We used to say it was like bubblegum due to chewy texture. It was one of my favorite dishes.
The cutest part was at the end of the video when Cam said he loves grandpa ❤️❤️
I do like the check shirt. Adopting american fashions. 🙂
Haha i have the same corelle(sp?) small bowl – outlet shopping, heh heh, probably 20-30 yrs ago
You can still buy real abalone?
Love from Sweden!
