Imitation Shark Fin Soup

Category, , DifficultyBeginner

Imitation Shark Fin Soup is a dish that replicates the texture and flavor of traditional shark fin soup without using actual shark fins, which are controversial due to environmental and ethical concerns. Instead, imitation shark fin soup typically uses alternative ingredients to mimic the texture and appearance of shark fins, such as gelatin or vermicelli noodles.
