鲍鱼带子杂炒 + 鲍鱼花胶药材汤 + 40岁生日 Abalone Scallop & Vegetable Stir Fry + Abalone & Fish Maw Soup + Big 40th Birthday

农厉新年前夕，家婆慷慨地给了我花胶，青边鲍鱼和北海道带子，哇,全部都是我不会花钱买的珍贵食材，所以在年初二那天就煮了这些菜来慰劳家人。

Just few days before the Chinese New Year, my mother-in-law had generously given me some fish maw, top grade of the frozen abalone(the "green rim" abalone) and Hokkaido scallops, so on the 2nd day of CNY, I had used them to cook some nice dishes.  To be honest, these are some of the expensive food that I won't use my own money to buy(it is something which I can live without, haha) so thanks to her, we had the chance to enjoy the dishes!

鲍鱼比我的掌心还要大。要知道更多的澳洲鲍鱼资料，请按这里。

This abalone was bigger than my palm. To know more information about Australia's abalone, please click here.

北海道带子不但大大粒的肉又厚。在澳洲如果要吃北海道进口的带子,去亚洲人开的海鲜档便可以找到。

These Hokkaido scallops are huge. In Australia, you can find them in most of the Asian seafood stalls, selling in boxes, imported directly from Hokkaido, Japan.

家婆先把花胶出了水洗乾净後才给我的，省了我很多功夫。要用时，只要把它解冻就可以了。只要这麽一片的花胶就足够可以煮出鲜甜的药材汤。花胶的肉是不是重量十足呢？按这里可以找到另一道用花胶熬的汤，ie,<木瓜香梨花胶汤>

My MIL had blanched and cleaned the fish maw for me & this has saved me lots of time in the preparation process. Press here to find another recipe that uses fish maw too, ie the <Papaya, Nashi Pear and Fish Maw Soup>.

我先用青边鲍,花胶,猪肉,鸡肉和一些药材来熬汤，再用青边鲍来和带子跟其他的蔬菜来杂炒。

I first used the abalone to boil soup with fish maw, pork, chicken and some chinese herbs, then I sliced the abalone and put them with the stirfry.

I'm submitting this to the Chinese New Year Delights hosted by Sonia@Nasi Lemak Lover.
