Peel the skin off the cucumber and slice it into quarters lengthwise and then take the seeds out of each piece and slice the cucumber pieces into strips.

Add 2 tablespoons of oil into the wok and heat it. Take the abalone and put it into the wok and stir it around for 1 minute. Take the abalone out of the wok and keep it warm. In the remaining heated oil in the wok put the ginger, pepper, mushrooms, cucumber and shallots. Stir these ingredients for 1 minute in the wok.
