Seafood stew is a dish that brings together a variety of seafood, using a specially made sauce as its base. Through slow stewing, the delicate flavors of the seafood blend perfectly with the sauce, resulting in a visually appealing and aromatic culinary delight. This dish not only retains the original taste of the seafood but also adds layers of flavor, making it an excellent choice for family gatherings or casual get-togethers with friends.

👉🏻Ingredients list⚠️

  • Fresh shrimp 200g

  • Shell-on abalones 10 pieces

  • Scallops 150g

  • Squid rings 100g

  • Mussels 100g

  • 1 potato (cubed)

  • 1 carrot (sliced)

  • 1 onion (shredded)

  • Garlic, to taste (sliced)

  • Ginger slices, to taste

  • Special seafood sauce (mixed with soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, cooking wine, sugar, salt, and cornstarch slurry)

👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:

  1. Clean all seafood thoroughly, especially shellfish to ensure no sand remains; marinate squid rings with cooking wine and a pinch of salt.

  2. Heat oil in a pot over medium heat, add garlic and ginger slices until fragrant, then stir-fry onion shreds and carrot slices until softened.

  3. Layer potato cubes on top as the base, then evenly distribute the prepared seafood over it.

  4. Pour in the special seafood sauce, ensuring it covers all ingredients. Cover the pot and simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, until the seafood is cooked through and well-flavored.

  5. Open the lid, sprinkle with chopped scallions or cilantro for extra aroma, and serve hot.

👉🏻✨TIPS

  • The freshness of the seafood is crucial; selecting lively seafood will enhance the taste of the stew.

  • During stewing, occasionally stir the ingredients to ensure even heating.

  • Adjust the saltiness and sweetness of the sauce according to personal preference; add chili rings if you like it spicy.

👉🏻✨BENEFITS

  • Seafood stew not only satisfies the palate but also, due to its rich protein, trace elements, and unsaturated fatty acids, helps strengthen the body, promote brain development, and maintain cardiovascular health.

👉🏻✨NUTRITIONAL

  • Seafood is rich in high-quality protein, which is easily absorbed by the body. Additionally, the Omega-3 fatty acids in seafood are beneficial for reducing heart disease risk, maintaining vision, and supporting nervous system health. Combined with vegetables like potatoes and carrots, it provides abundant dietary fiber and vitamins, making this dish nutritionally balanced and suitable for the whole family.
