4. While waiting for mushroom to cook, steam dried scallop over medium heat for 45mins-1hr
5. Add in fish maw and sea cucumber into the braised mushroom and cooked until tender. If using “wu yuan” sea cucumber can continue to let it braise over 1-1.5hrs. If using “jing tiao” cooked it for 30mins – 45mins as it get tender faster than “wu yuan”

Putting it together
Add some soup from braised mushroom in the claypot, lay the white radish and nape cabbage on top of the white radish.
Assemble the roast meat in the center. On the side assemble the prawns, frozen scallop, fish maw, sea cucumber, mushroom and broccoli. Add in more soup from the braised mushroom.
On the top layer assemble the abalone. Thicken the rest of the braised mushroom soup with some corn starch. If you prefer to have a more water down gravy, you may omit out the corn starch. Pour the remaining gravy over the abalone and braised the claypot for 15mins. Serve hot.
