How to prepare dried Shark's Tail Skin:

Soak dried shark's tail skin in cold water + rice wine overnight. Cook soften shark's tail skin in boiling water with ginger and rice wine. Drained. Braised in chicken stock with ginger, green onion and rice wine for a few hours until tender (I use slow cooker on high for 5 hours). Drained with cold water. Cut in desired size. Good for soup and other dishes. I made Shark's Tail Skin Tofu chicken Pot.

Pan fried Ginger, shallots and garlic. 

Add chicken, tofu and shark's tail skin. Stir fry a bit.

Add chicken stock, oyster sauce, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar and white pepper.

Cover and cook until chicken is cooked.

Use corn starch to thicken the sauce. 

Garnish with green onion.

  魚唇簡單介紹: Shark's Tail Skin: 很多人以為魚唇就是魚的嘴唇，非也！魚翅是鯊魚的鰭，而魚唇其實就是鯊魚尾部沒有翅針的鰭了。雖然魚唇不及魚翅矜貴，亦因為魚唇無骨，所以少了一點點鈣質，但是它膠質含量絕不比魚翅遜色，質地亦比魚翅軟滑。海味業界認為魚唇即是翅裙。魚唇處理不好會容易有腥味，所以浸發工夫非常重要：將幹魚唇 (Pic1) 浸清水和米酒過夜, 煮魚唇的滾水記着要放薑片和米酒去腥味，我使用慢燉鍋煮5小時 (雞湯, 姜，蔥和米酒) (Pic 2),  然後將魚唇過冷水洗浸 (Pic 3)，之後便可以用來煲湯又或者燴煮炒菜了。
