• 2 Tbls minced fresh ginger
• 12 60-70mm prepared abalone

Mix soy sauce, sake, oil, ginger, water chestnuts and coriander in a medium bowl. Place the abalone meat in the marinade; marinate for 10 minutes.

Return the marinated abalone into shells and place them on either a charcoal grill or a gas grill.

Heat the reserved marinade until boiling and use as a dipping sauce. Serve abalone immediately
