Step 1

Scrape the abalone meat out of the shell and trim off the brown liver and guts. Rinse the meat and set aside. Wash the shells and add into boiling water for few minutes to remove any dirt or sand. Place them in the sink and using a small brush clean thoroughly. Set aside to use the shells when plating.

Step 2

Using a knife remove any dark parts until you have a nice white meat. Apply a few blows using a meat tenderizer. Slice the abalone meat as thin as paper.

Step 3

Use a small piece of seaweed, place it in water to hydrated and thinly slice it before adding it to the egg mixture. Gently whisk the eggs with salt and seaweed.

Step 4

Cook the eggs on medium heat. Add the butter and stir constantly using a rubber or flat end spatula. Remove from heat occasionally so you don’t over cook it. When ready, remove from stove and add 1 tsp sour cream. Mix one more time and transfer to a bowl.

Step 5 

Cook the abalone on medium heat in a large pan with a splash of olive oil. Season with salt and lime. Cook for about 1 minute until changing it’s color to golden.

Step 6

Place the cleaned shells on a plate and the scrambled eggs inside. Top with the cooked abalone, add some salt, drizzle some more lime and serve.
