Vegan Sharks Fin Soup

Eight Treasures

One thing I never understood about #[sharksfinsoup](hashtag-5bb874a233a3a9efa915463a) is that the #[sharkfin](hashtag-63bb9e8bd5eb3d3c506d9e48) seemingly has no flavour of its own 🤔 I grew up eating actual reef #[shark](hashtag-63ef3893ac49cc0c8fcaa205) in Borneo, usually as a form of #[saltedfish](hashtag-5f412536628adf118faa8ea2), which at least had its own distinct flavour and texture as other fish would. I too have had my fair share of shark’s fin attending weddings & functions growing up in my hometown of Kuching 🦈 If you were to put this or any other “faux” (read: non-cruel) shark fin soup in front of me, I would not be able to tell the difference. It’s every bit as good, as creamy, and as flavourful - because the fin never had any flavour of its own. It’s unnecessary cruel 👎

Wow first time trying Vegan Shark Fin soup and i’m so amazed 😱 It’s been a really long time since I ate the non-vegan version which is only at weddings & I definitely don’t miss it! Don’t need to kill animals to have great food #littlebuckets #friendsnotfood

Wow nunca escuché sobre sopa de tiburón 😶

@karenyan yo tpcooo! En China es súper comun

Les cuento en caso que no sepan, que básicamente por la pesca indiscriminada y en red se suelen obtener del total un 40% de animales de mar, que son de deshecho porque no se venden. Los tiburones son un claro ejemplo de este 40% entonces lo que hacen, tengo entendido, es cortarles las aletas y devolverlos al océano para que mueran desagrados, y con eso hacen las sopas

@tales lean esto @kruskaya @karenyan !!!!! 

@paloma 😢🙈 sabes ya no se que decir, por esto y más mi corazón se enferma ...  es un dolor constante 

La versión real es sopa de tiburón 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 del terror pensar que esto existe 🤬
La versión vegana es riquísima!! Super sabrosa ❤️ tiene una textura más espesa que una sopa típica.

I have had many veg and non veg versions of this soup in the past made with fish maw or gourds. This vegan version is fantastic and exactly the same imho. there are so many different textures and you get lots of ingredients in each scoop.

I’ve never had shark fin soup (vegan or otherwise)! i have to try it sometime (the vegan one, of course)

yes the vegan one is really good! actual sharks fin doesn't even taste like anything to begin with 😩

Ooo I loved this, it was super yum and tasty, definitely a solid alternative to the original any day. You can add vinegar to it if you want to, but I prefer it without!

Didn't expect myself to like this but I actually really did. It's kinda addictive HAHA. The textures are nice and the soup has a subtle  peppery taste. Good appetiser!

Best vegan shark's fin soup I ever had. Tastes better than the real thing. Add vinegar and oof 💯

This was absolutely delicious, I would definitely order this again the next time I go and would recommend this to anyone. Great alternative to a ‘high cruelty meat’ #sgeats

This was one of my favourite dishes! The thick soup is nice and savoury, and there is a good mix of different ingredients inside - vegan ham and my favourite enoki mushrooms and more. It was so soothing to have as we ordered lots of fried dishes.

Has that classic chicken stock flavour that sharks fin is famous for, and a good amount of soy strips inside. Love the pairing with black vinegar!
