Braised White Cabbage with Fish Maw in Golden Broth

Now the Braised White Cabbage with Fish Maw in Golden Broth is a tad different from the usual Chinese New Year set menus that I've savoured over the course of this three weeks or so. Interesting, and delightfully tasty, we had these luxurious fish maw served in a plate filled with braised white cabbage and golden broth. Good stuff!
