My family likes to eat beef. Today, I made a plate of Sautéed Beef with Straw Mushroom and Abalone Sauce at noon. It is Cantonese cuisine. This dish is delicious and sweet, the beef is tender and delicious!
Big abalone is very expensive in China, do you know why?
Somebody said in Chinese culture, it is believed that consuming abalone, also known as (Baoyu), will bring one good fortune and abundance for the rest of the year.
Is it true?
No! It is simply a case of supply and demand, as divers are not allowed to catch the amount they used to. But demand remains very high.

How to Make a Cornstarch Slurry?
I’m going to show you how we can use cornstarch to thicken up a sauce.
1.I’ve got my my liquid here in the pan now, it doesn’t really matter what you use, you can use water, you can use melting mousse orange juice, you can use froth, you can use whatever, the point is you got a little bit of cornstarch and a little bit of water to form a bit of a paste, combine cornstarch and water until smooth and creamy
2.Whisk rapidly into whatever soup or stew you need to thicken
3.Continue to cook the dish until the sauce has thickened properly.
