• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Water
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

Clean the abalone by scrubbing the shells under cold running water. Remove and discard the guts, then slice the abalone meat into thin strips.

Step 2

Chop the garlic cloves and ginger finely. Peel and slice the carrot into thin rounds. Clean and slice the shiitake mushrooms and chop the green onions.

Step 3

In a large pot, add the chicken broth and 2 cups of water, and bring to a boil.

Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the soup.
