Jeonbokjjim
Jeonbokjjim, or braised abalone, is a luxurious Korean dish originating from royal court cuisine. Tender abalone is simmered in a savory and slightly sweet soy sauce-based broth, often enhanced with aromatics like garlic, ginger, and leeks, and sometimes garnished with ginkgo nuts or chili peppers. It's a delicacy prized for its rich flavor and health benefits.

- 200 ml Water
- 2 tbsp Light soy sauce

👨🍳 Instructions

Clean the abalone thoroughly using a brush to remove any dirt from the shell and sides. Carefully remove the abalone meat from the shell using a spoon. Remove the intestine and teeth from the abalone meat. Rinse and set aside.

Heat perilla seed oil or neutral oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped leek, sliced garlic, ginger, and chili pepper (if using). Sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
💡 Conseils de pro: Sautéing the aromatics releases their flavors into the oil. - 3

💡 Conseils de pro: Ginkgo nuts add a slightly sweet, nutty flavor and a beautiful garnish. - 4
Add 200ml of water to the wok. Stir in the light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and honey. Bring the mixture to a boil.
💡 Conseils de pro: Adjust the sweetness and saltiness of the sauce to your preference. - 5
Add the cleaned abalone to the boiling sauce and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
💡 Conseils de pro: Avoid overcooking the abalone, as it can become tough. - 6
In a small bowl, dissolve 2 tbsp cornstarch in 2 tbsp water to create a slurry. Slowly drizzle the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce while stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
💡 Conseils de pro: Add the slurry gradually to achieve the desired sauce consistency. - 7
Turn off the heat. Plate the braised abalone by arranging the vegetables on the bottom of a shallow bowl or deep plate, then placing the abalone in a circular pattern around them. Garnish with spring chives.
💡 Conseils de pro: Jeonbokjjim is often served as part of a larger Korean meal, accompanied by rice and various side dishes.
