Hot And Sour Fish Maw Soup

6:00 PM Unknown 0 Comments

An appetising sourish, sweet and spicy thick soup with 2 main ingredients - garoupa fish fillet and fish maw. Any white fish fillet and any quality type of fish maw is suitable for this soup, not necessary the expensive ones.

I served this soup together with a simple, easy fried rice vermicelli Stir Fry Rice Vermicelli [Economy Style Fried Beehoon] for weekend dinner.
