The Asian auntie secret to glowing skin, strong immunity, and a soul-warming hug in a bowl.

 

Ingredients

• Fish maw (soaked overnight in cold water in the fridge or 1 hour in lukewarm water)
• Pork (any soup-cut: ribs, bones, or collar)
• Lotus root (peeled & sliced)
• Carrots (chunked)
• Chinese shiitake mushrooms (rehydrated & trimmed)
• Goji berries (add at the end!)

 Method — Simple, Traditional, Powerful

 Prep the Pork

Blanch the pork in boiling water first—this gets rid of all the scum and gives you that clean, clear broth.

Rinse it off after blanching.

 Build Your Youth Potion

Add the pork into a clean pot.

Pop in your lotus root, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, and your beautifully soaked fish maw.

 Bring to Life

Fill with water, bring to a full rolling boil on high heat.

Once bubbling, drop to a gentle simmer for 1 hour.

 Final Touch 

In the last 10 minutes, throw in your goji berries.

This keeps them plump, sweet, and full of antioxidants—without bleeding out their goodness.

 The Result

A rich, collagen-packed, deeply nourishing soup that Asian mums swear keeps you youthful, glowing, and strong from the inside out.

This is your Fountain of Youth Soup — made with love, heritage, and the quiet power of traditional ingredients.
