1 pound raw, tenderized abalone

3/4 cup cold water

3 tablespoons sake

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon soy sauce

Boil the abalone and water in a 1 quart saucepan, then lower the heat and simmer

uncovered for 5 minutes. Add the sake and sugar, cooking for another 5 minutes.

Stir in the soy sauce and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from heat and cool

to room temperature. Cut the abalone into slices 1/2 inch thick and serve as

hors d\\\'oeuvre. Serves 6.
