Festive Fish Maw Soup (金玉满堂)

Post & Recipe in English and Chinese (中英食谱)

A soup dish filled with “wealthy” ingredients. I am sure you wish to know what kind of “wealth” are found in it, and how easy to assemble this delicious festive soup dish.

Yes, and we should say “no” to shark fin during these festive occasions. I would recommend this to replace shark fin soup. As delicious as it could be, it symbolizes increment in wealth capacity.

This “filled with wealth” soup is a must to consume during Chinese Lunar New Year.

“财”料十足的贺年佳肴。我猜您也很想知道里头到底加了些什么”财”料。这还是一种非常容易煮出来的汤肴呢！

对了，佳节之际，也更是应该对鱼翅说“不”。能够媲美鱼翅汤的，我会推荐这款靓汤。尽享美味，也象征着财富增长。

这个“充满财富”的汤是农历新年期间必须食用的。简单又美味，还不失营养，更不失风俗文化。

Tips:

The amount of each ingredient is adjustable to your liking.
* Japanese crab meat stick has more tender texture than the normal artificial crab meat stick. I bought it from Giant Hypermarket (found in frozen food compartment). Of course, fresh crab meat is still the best. :)
* Presoak the fried fish maw in warm water for about 15 mins to shorten cooking time.

温馨提示：材料份量可随意调节。
* 日本蟹肉棒的质地比普通蟹肉棒来的柔嫩。Giant超市可以买得到(冷藏部)。当然，新鲜蟹肉还是最好的选择。
* 先把炸鱼鳔用温水浸软（约15分钟）可节省烹调时间。
