Comments on: Mock Abalone? https://www.saltshaker.net/20051002/mock-abalone Casting a little flavor (and a few aspersions) on the world of food, drink, and life Sat, 22 Jul 2006 15:11:07 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1 By: SaltShaker » Blog Archive » Eat Your Veggies! https://www.saltshaker.net/20051002/mock-abalone#comment-870 Sat, 22 Jul 2006 15:11:07 +0000 https://www.saltshaker.net/20051002/mock-abalone#comment-870 […] Obviously, this is a very loose interpretation of a McMuffin, egg, bacon, sausage, or otherwise. I made something similar to this once before, a few years back, with a stack made of a commercial English muffin, a grilled portobello cap, some Asiago cheese, and a fried egg on top. It was good, but not great, and I wanted to improve on it. So, first, freshly made crumpets, split, with one half on the bottom of each bowl. Top those with a couple of “mock abalone” – made from oyster mushrooms sauteed in herbs – most of you probably weren’t reading this blog when I made those – check them out! Some sprinkled chopped parsley and grated parmesan (no Asiago to be found, though I’d bet that would be even better than this was), and, instead of a fried egg, a classic Japanese egg yolk sauce, tamago-no-moto – essentially a white miso flavored mayonnaise, but beaten with a wooden spoon rather than a whisk, which gives it a creamier texture (no, or few, air bubbles).

I get monthly stats on things like what searches from various engines brings people to the site, plus what they search for within the site. Strangely, I thought, the last two months suddenly brought roughly six dozen requests per month for a recipe for “mock abalone” between Google and Yahoo. A Google search of my own brought up a January 25 short article on the topic in The San Diego Union-Tribune. I guess a lot of folk in San Diego weren’t happy with that particular recipe (which to me, admittedly, sounds a little questionable – basically breaded chicken breasts that have been marinated in clam juice) and decided to branch out!
