Blanch the snow peas for about 20 seconds, leaving them in the cold water afterward.

4

Blanch the mushrooms for about 30 seconds.

5

Blanch the longevity noodles for about 90 seconds, stirring and teasing them apart until slightly soft and pliable.

6

Heat the wok and cook minced ginger and garlic for about 20 to 30 seconds on low heat to prevent burning.

7

Turn the heat to high and add the scallops, searing them for about 20 to 30 seconds.

8

Add the shrimp and cook for about 90 seconds, flipping until they turn from gray to orange and the scallops start browning.

9

Add a splash of cooking wine around the perimeter of the wok and mix briefly before scooping the seafood out.

Stir-fry the abalone, carrots, and mushrooms on high heat for about 45 seconds.

11

Add the sauce mixture (abalone water, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar) to the wok and cover, bringing it to a boil for about 3 minutes.

12

On medium heat, add the shrimp, scallops, and green onions to the sauce.

13

Add a total of 1 teaspoon of cornstarch to thicken the sauce, pouring it in slowly while stirring constantly for 20 to 30 seconds.

14

Turn the heat to low or off and stir to combine everything.

15

Add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and 1 teaspoon of cooking oil to the mixture.

16

Add half of the snow peas to the wok, reserving the rest for plating to keep them vibrant and crunchy.

17
