My Best Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Soup Recipe

This is a luxurious and nourishing Chinese New Year delicacy with lots of expensive Chinese ingredients such as abalone, sea cucumber, fish maw and scallop.

However, I have never attempted to make these at home, until recently we needed to spend our Chinese New Year Reunion Dinner at home. 

With such expensive and premium ingredients from @yancheemedicalhall, I knew that it was my time to learn and master these Traditional Chinese New Year Dishes. 

I reached out to my mother and asked for the detailed instructions and embarked on a 5-days(Yes, five days) cooking process of making Buddha Jump Over The Wall Soup. Trust me! The preparation was tedious but the end result was amazing and worth every moment 

The preparation includes 

1. Soaking dried sea cucumber & dried shiitake mushroom 

2. Deep clean sea cucumber properly 

3. Preparing ultimate Chicken stock 

4. Simmer long and slow until it falls apart tender

The main ingredients include 

Abalone: high in omega3 & low in fat

scallop: High in protein, zinc and vitamin
