FISH MAW (HERH PIO) AND MUSHROOM MEATBALL SOUP

Ingredients:

  • Chicken Stock, 1 litre
  • Water, 1 litre
  • Minced Pork, 500 grams
  • Fish Paste, 200 grams
  • Shitake Mushrooms, 6-7 (stems removed and finely diced)
  • Napa Cabbage, 1/2 (halved and cut into pieces)
  • Fish Maw, 2 pieces
  • Fish Sauce, to taste
  • White Pepper, to taste

 

Instructions:

  1. In a separate pot, add water and bring it to a boil. Add fish maw and turn off the heat. The fish maw will soften and the excess oil will be removed.
  2. When the fish maw has softened, remove them from the water and slice them into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
  3. In a bowl, mix together minced meat, fish paste and diced mushroom.
  4. Lift handfuls of the mixture and throw them into the bowl to remove excess air.
