3. Precautions for eating fish maw:

1. Tools for stewing fish glue

It is generally recommended to use a special electric stew pot to stew fish maw, which is convenient and saves trouble. It is not recommended to use a pressure cooker to stew fish maw. If you don't have one, you can buy an electric stew pot and stew it directly or in water.

2. How long does it take to stew?

This depends on the thickness of the fish maw. If it is a thinner fish maw, it usually takes about 3 hours to stew. If it is a thicker fish maw, it takes about 4-5 hours to stew. If the ones are very large, such as those weighing more than 200 grams, you can extend the time appropriately and stew them for about 6 hours. If you are using a gas casserole, you can boil it over high heat first, and then simmer it over low heat for about 2 hours.

3. How much fish maw is needed each time and what is the ratio of water?

Each person can eat about 20 grams of fish maw each time. The ratio of water is generally determined by the situation of the electric stew pot. Generally, after stewing, there should be about a medium bowl of soup left, which is about 220ml.

4. Should fish maw be soaked in water?

Under normal circumstances, it is not recommended to soak fish maw in water. If the fish maw contains a lot of butter or is dirty, you can soak it in water for about 2 hours. After it is softened, you can wash off the dust and butter. Or if the whole fish maw cannot be cut into small pieces, you can soak it in water to soften it and then cut it into small pieces. Those who say that you need to soak it in water for a day and a night, or scald it with boiling water before stewing it, are absolutely wrong.

5. Steps for stewing fish maw

First, cut the fish maw into small pieces, take the required amount (if the fish maw is dirty, soak it in water for about 2 hours), rinse it clean, then put it into the electric stew pot, add appropriate amount of water (boiling water or cold water will do), then wash the auxiliary ingredients to be stewed together, put them into the pot together with the fish maw and stew (some auxiliary ingredients may need to be added before stewing is done, depending on the situation).
