Fish Maw (Hu Pioh, in Hokkien, Chinese name: 魚鰾,花膠 ) Soup Recipe

Fish maw is actually the air bladder of a fish and it is one of the authentic ingredients in Chinese cooking. Dried or deep fried fish maw is available in many Chinese shops selling food ingredients. I love to cook using fish maw and the simplest dish is the fish maw soup.
