Shark bones, which contain a lot of collagen, are a gift for women’s beauty and skin care. As autumn and winter come recently, my mother at home has frequently asked me if I know where to buy good shark bones. Put the shark bones in the soup. After the bones melt, the soup will be milky white and very sweet!
If the shark bones you buy are dry shark bones, soak them in water for one night before use, then use ginger and green onions to boil them in water for half an hour, let them cool and then rinse them. When buying shark bones, you should first cut off the "head" and "tail" ends of the bones to prevent the stewed soup from having too much fishy smell.
If you buy Jiji shark bones, it’s much easier. Just open the package and put the soup directly! When using, check that the fish bones are white and free of pollution and odor. It is best to choose those that are individually packaged in a vacuum to ensure that they are free of insects.
If the fish bones are left in the soup for a long time, they will dissolve into bone powder and sink to the bottom. Therefore, in terms of medicinal materials, avoid using a large amount of medicinal materials with a heavy taste, such as Huaishan. Use high heat during the soup making process to ensure that the color of the soup becomes milky white.
