Corn starch.

Adding a few strands of golden mushroom might help.

Corn flour will do.
Can add in crab meat not crab stick.
Add in egg.
Fish maw and sea cucumber should take out.

Crab meat in sharkfin soup is common
Egg give the 蛋花 and texture.
Try it.
Add hua tiao , black vinegar and pepper.

Oh..wash then steam sharkfin for 10mins.
Depends on how much.

 

[Ralders]

Boil the soup base base separately.
When almost ready add in sharkfin and seasoning.

Leave the starch to the last last step.

traditionally i will soak the big fin for few hours. then leave it to boil over small fire . add crab meats,dry scallop vinger ,pepper and some starch(forget what starch)
once the fragrance fish smell is out, i know is ready.

Shark fin is basically tasteless and just take on the flavour of the stock that it is cooked in. The shark fins just add texture.

traditionally i never use any stock or msg for the soup base.just plain water and some dry scallop.however will try some fresh chicken wings as soup base this time.

Have to steam the fin first.
Some steam it with ginger slices ( optional )

Dry scallops needs to boil a little longer.
Unless it wet scallops.
Dry scallops can boil with soup first.
If not it be hard and taste still not pull out yet.
