Sea Cucumber Fish Maw Beancurd Soup 海参鱼鳔豆腐羹

Why not we do our bit to save the shark by replacing the shark fin soup to Beancurd soup.  It can be as tastier as shark fin soup and you can add any other ingredients  to give  that extra  oomps to this lovely soup!    So instead of shark fins soup lets go for Beancurd soup, its tastes as goooood!   Its quite tedious task to prepare the soup with cleaning, cutting, soaked, slicing and etc etc.....  But the results is worth it! 

I have prepared this  soup many times and I can't remember why I never blog about it.  The soup is as tasty as shark fin soup only  minus the shark fin and is taste as good.  My soup queen Tammie love it so much.  I called her soup queen as she love to drink soup so much.  When soup is not served during dinner time she will still prepare herself with soup Marmite or canned mushroom soup.   That is my girl, Tammie!


This soup have been prepared many times with few photos  were  posted on my facebook some times ago, and prepared soup again for my son home coming reunion diner.  This time decided to blog about it, credit must give to the event  little thumb ups organized by Zoe.  ^_^
