This is the second recipe that I adapted from Cass. When Cass posted this simple and delicious Fish Maw Soup, I quickly bookmarked and cooked this delicious soup during Chinese New Year. A very simple and satisfying soup with the prawn meat balls that my family really enjoyed very much.
Fish maw (鱼鳔 – yú biào is an excellent source of collagen and cabbage. Many Chinese people believe that drinking fish maw soup and eating fish maw will improve their complexion. Napa cabbage may reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer. The isothiocyanates found in Napa cabbage may lower the chances of lung cancer among smokers.
