First of all, I wish all the mothers out there a Happy Mother's Day - hope you all had a wonderful time today :)

Cooking this soup since there's dried shark's fin and dried shitake mushroom been lying in the drawer since Chinese New Year time hehe...

15pcs dried shitake mushroom - soaked in warm water til soften and cut thinly

200g pork loin - cut small

200g chicken breast - cut small

1 medium china wongbok - discard the leaves, cut small

6 breakfast ham, cut thinly

a pot of water, oil, salt, pepper, light soya sauce, sugar, chicken stock powder, a few dashes of chinese cooking wine, cornflour mixed with a little water

On a medium fire, bring a pot of water to boil

Heat oil in a pan, stir fry garlic and onion til fragrant - pour in the pot with boiled water

Add in pork and chicken, stir and cook for a few minutes

Add in shark's fin and mushroom, stir well and cook for a few more minutes

Add in salt, pepper, light soya sauce, a little sugar, a little chicken stock powder, cooking wine - adjust the taste

When it's about to boil, add in cut wongbok - stir well, bring to boil
