- sesame oil to taste
- 4 baby abalone from the canned; drained
- hard-boiled chicken or quail eggs*
- spring onions thinly sliced; for garnishing
* To cook hard boiled chicken eggs, place eggs in saucepan of cold water (enough water to cover eggs). Bring to a boil for about 2 minutes, turn off the stove and cover with lid for 10 minutes. For quail eggs, cover eggs with sufficient water and boil for 5 minutes. Rinse cooked eggs with cold water before peeling.

Hi, how much chicken stock should I put to replace drumstick and chicken bones? Planned to replace it with fish instead ????
you’re using instant chicken stock? In that case you can start with about 800ml of stock, add more if needed.
