Fish Maw with Lotus Root Soup

This nourishing soup is tasty, great for the skin, and an excellent food combination for confinement mothers. Fish Maw is a great ingredient that helps nourish kidneys, blood, and ‘yin’, while Lotus Root may help improve blood circulation and digestion.

Tip: The longer the Lotus Roots are cooked, the darker (redder) the soup becomes. This increases the Blood nourishing property which otherwise is more cleansing.
