Spring is the season for weight loss, and it's also the best time for beauty and skincare. In recent years, many of my friends have been eating supplements such as bird's nest and ejiao. But for people like Longbao, bird's nest and ejiao are too expensive, so it is better to eat some relatively cheap ingredients. Every spring, I will ask my friends at the beach to buy some small fish maw, which is used to make soup or boil sugar water, and a bowl is only a few yuan, and I eat it twice a week.
Fish maw, also known as fish maw, is a dried product made of fish maw drying and processing, it belongs to one of the four major sea delicacies, and is also one of the "eight treasures of the sea". Fish maw is rich in collagen, vitamins, trace elements and polysaccharides, and is known as the "collagen bank of the ocean".
The collagen in fish maw can effectively improve the elasticity and radiance of the skin after consumption, and make the skin rejuvenated. In addition, fish maw also has the benefits of nourishing the kidneys and nourishing the muscles and veins, and since ancient times, fish maw has always been a good nourishing product for the royal court. With the improvement of living standards, fish maw has now begun to enter the public table, and the following will share with you 2 common practices of fish maw, which are nutritious and nourishing.
1. Pumpkin fish maw black chicken soup, the main ingredients of this soup are fish maw, pumpkin and black chicken. Pumpkin is a nutritious and well-rounded vegetable, rich in vitamin A and pectin, which not only protects the eyes, but also has the benefits of nourishing the stomach.
Ingredients: fish maw, pumpkin, black chicken, ginger, cooking wine, salt
1. Soak the fish maw 6 hours in advance, peel the ginger and cut it into thin slices. Peel and remove the pumpkin, cut it into thin slices, put it in a pot of boiling water, and steam it over high heat for 10 minutes.
2. Clean up the black chicken, chop it into a suitable size, put cold water into the pot, add cooking wine to heat over medium heat, blanch and boil for 10 minutes, and take it out with cold water.

4. Put the blanched black chicken, ginger and soaked fish maw into a casserole, bring to a boil over high heat and simmer over medium-low heat for 20 minutes.
5. Add the pumpkin puree and simmer for another 10 minutes, adding salt to taste.
2. Stewed lotus seeds with fish maw, some friends may not often have time to make soup with fish maw, so you can try to stew more fish maw lotus seeds syrup once, divide it into several small portions and freeze it in the refrigerator, and take one portion back to warm up each time you eat it. The cost of a bowl of fish maw stewed lotus seeds made by yourself is only a few yuan, which is much more cost-effective than buying a small bowl of fish maw lotus seed syrup for more than 30 yuan from a treasure.
