Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 large dried fish maws
  • 1 Tbsp cooking oil
  • 2 cloves garlic ((finely minced))
  • 3 slices 2-inch fresh ginger ((smash with side of cleaver or heavy object))
  • 50 grams boneless skinless chicken thighs or pork loin ((diced))
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 1 large carrots ((peeled and cut into 1-inch slices))
  • 400 gr canned abalones
  • 1/4 cup dried goji berries ((rinse with water))
  • Salt to taste
  • Small pinch of sugar to taste
  • 1 stalk of green onions ((finely chopped))

Instruction

  • Slice the abalone across the grain to about 1/4-inch thickness. Soak the fish maws in hot water until they plump up and soften, about 20-30 minutes. Cut into large chunks
  • Preheat oil in a medium-size pot. Add in ginger and garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. If you prefer to leave the abalone whole, add the abalone in. Add the chicken stock, carrots, fish maw. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat to a gentle simmer and let it simmer for about 5 minutes
  • If you use sliced abalone, add them in and cook for max 1 minute. Season the soup with pinch of salt and sugar to your taste. Stir in the goji berries. The residual heat will soften the goji berries without overcooking them
  • Garnish with chopped green onion and serve immediately
