Real shark’s fin soup was expensive and average people in the old days could hardly have a chance to taste the soup. Thus hawkers started to make a dish by rice vermicelli which looked like real shark’s fin soup. This fake soup was then well received by average people. Beside rice vermicelli, there were pork, egg, elm fungi, dried black mushrooms and water chestnut starch. This soup is served with vinegar, sesame oil and pepper powder.
