Easy CNY recipe | Fish maw soup

fish maw

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: dried mushrooms

Tofu provides a similar texture while being more accessible.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water + bouillon

Vegetable broth is lighter and suitable for vegetarians.

dried scallops

🥗Healthier: canned clams

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Canned clams offer a similar umami flavor at a lower cost.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: sunflower oil

Olive oil is healthier and can be used for sautéing.

Soak fish maw in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes to wash away excess oil.

Prepare chicken stock using chicken feet, aiming for 1.5 to 2 liters.

Cut ingredients into similar shapes: fish maw, rehydrated squid, shredded chicken, mushrooms, and carrot.

Add all the prepared ingredients into the chicken stock.

Season with 1 teaspoon of salt, cooking salt powder, and rock sugar.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover and cook on medium-low heat for about 20 minutes.

Add a bowl of starch solution to thicken the soup slightly, adjusting to personal preference.

Beat and add one egg to the soup before serving, seasoning with white pepper.
