In the old days, the canned abalone that prevailed on the market was mainly based on abalone in clear soup, and the original abalone was washed and canned, cooked and sealed with salted water, without adding other ingredients, and eating its original juice and umami. Although these cans of abalone are delicious, they usually need to be heated for several hours in the original can, and they need to be seasoned and cooked. In order to cater to the simple and fast consumption proposition, canned abalone with sauce began to appear in Hong Kong in the 90s, that is, the so-called "canned oyster abalone" and "canned abalone in abalone sauce". Among the many canned abalone sauces on the market, there is one that is the most famous, and only his family can adjust the abalone sauce to the age - that is Hong Kong's famous abalone king "Ah Yi Abalone".
 
Mr. Yang Guanyi is a well-known international chef in Hong Kong, the founder of the two-Michelin-starred restaurant in Hong Kong and the famous regal canteen Fu Lin Hotel. Yang Guanyi has won numerous awards in his career, including the Platinum Award, the highest honor of the French Master Chef, the American Five-Star Diamond Award, the World Royal Chef Best Chef Award, the World Culinary Elite Award, the French Gastronomy Prestige Award, and the Lifetime Achievement Supreme Award of the China Hotel Association. "A Yi Abalone" was once praised by Deng Xiaoping, and many heads of state in the world have also tasted the taste of A Yi Abalone.
 
In 2005, Mr. Yang Guanyi cooperated with his disciple Liu Zheyu to develop ready-to-eat products made of abalone, ginseng, wings, tripe, etc., established the "Ah Yi Abalone" food brand, and authorized the establishment of "Ah Yi Abalone Princess (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd.", which is responsible for the production and operation of "Ah Yi" food. The "Ah Yi Abalone", which originally lived in the temple, has since landed in the world and has become a market delicacy that every household can easily enjoy.
 
The abalone products of "Ah Yi" have expanded from the initial two canned abalone to dozens of varieties at present. The most classic is the "Oyster Emperor Abalone", this canned abalone is made of Japanese fresh abalone that has been cultivated in Taiwan for more than three years, with a Zhou Zheng appearance, a delicate skirt, and a typical ingot-shaped body of Ezo abalone, but the body is slightly thinner and the shape is not full enough. The top soup is the advantage of Ayi abalone, which is personally trained by Yang Guanyi, and the old hen, pork ribs, Jinhua ham and Ayi's exclusive secret recipe are boiled and stewed for two days and two nights, imitating the texture of dried abalone juice, and then simmering abalone in this soup for 30 hours, and the abalone is canned with the sauce. The oyster abalone is tender and elastic in the mouth, and the slight sticky feeling makes the taste close to the top canned abalone, but unfortunately the umami is somewhat lacking; The sauce has the mellow aroma of old chicken and oyster sauce, and the richness of the ingredients can be felt by the lips and teeth. Oyster abalone is available in ordinary (12 heads), silver (10 heads), gold (6/8 heads) and top gold (4/5 heads), and the price has increased sequentially, equivalent to about 350 yuan to 450 yuan.
 
In addition to oyster abalone, Ayi abalone also has a variety of canned abalone products of different specifications, such as braised opal abalone, golden soup abalone, braised scallop abalone, etc., and the price is mostly between 300~400 yuan. Except for the larger Opal abalone, most of the other products are Japanese Jipin abalone, which is similar in appearance and taste to Japanese Jipin, but the abalone taste is slightly inferior. The sauce conditioning of each product is also relatively stable, and it can be eaten right out of the can, without worrying about sauce cooking, which is very suitable for family consumption. In addition, Ayi abalone also has a cheaper price of gift box soft packaging on the market, such as the boutique abalone supreme gift box, containing two farmed Jipin abalone and two mushrooms, and ready-to-eat abalone juice to match, the price is equivalent to only more than 100 yuan, which is also a good choice for family consumption.
 
Ah Yi Abalone also has a small number of top-quality clear soup abalone products, and its canned wild abalone in South Africa is made of extra-large wild abalone grown in South Africa for more than 20 years or more, which is OEM manufactured in South Africa. Its abalone body size is as large as half an adult's palm, the thickness is more than 3 centimeters, the annual output is not much, the clear soup method, only add salt water, the abalone flavor is chewy. The canned South African abalone of Ayi abalone has the highest price among all its products, and the price is more than 1,000 yuan, generally 2~4 heads, which is relatively rare in the market. At present, Ah Yi abalone can be purchased in many seafood shops and supermarkets in Hong Kong, and can also be seen in seafood shops in some cities in Chinese mainland.
