乾鮑，被譽為「海中的黃金」，是相當名貴的食材。
「泡發」是烹調乾鮑過程中最重要的步驟。
鮑魚泡發得不夠透徹，會令其口感不佳及影響料理時無法入味。
陳奶奶這次跟大家分享如何泡發和炆煮乾鮑魚，
不加醬油蠔油等任何調味料，使用頂湯加上燒肉和燒鵝，
就能炆煮出鮮美嫩滑的鮑魚！

鮑魚含豐富蛋白質，具養顏、平衡血壓、養肝明目等功用，
並有滋補強身的功效，適合肝腎虛弱、視物昏暗等人士食用。


甚麼是乾鮑？

鮑魚自古在中國飲食文化中佔據重要的地位，除了有不少新鮮鮑魚的烹製手法，更難得的是發明了複雜的乾鮑魚炮製技術。乾鮑是新鮮鮑魚煮熟再曬乾，其製作工序繁多，成長時間要平均4至10年不等。
雖然海鮮大多講求新鮮，但少數高檔海鮮食材又以乾品為上品，會製成乾鮑的幾乎都是營養價值高、口感佳的鮑魚品種，加上製作過程中無可免的會發生耗損，其價格也就不一般了。

What is dried abalone?

Abalone has played an important part in Chinese culinary culture since ancient times. In addition to the many ways in which fresh abalone is cooked, there is also the rare invention of complex techniques for making dried abalone. Dried abalone is made from fresh abalone which is first cooked and then dried which preparation process is extensive and takes an average of 4 to 10 years to complete.

While freshness is the top priority for most seafood, a few high-end kinds of seafood are best in dried form.
The dried abalone is almost always of high nutritional value and good taste, and the inevitable wear and tear that occurs during the production process make it very expensive.
