Seafood tofu soup with fresh shrimps, sea cucumber, crab meat and silken tofu

I like this seafood tofu soup. It has all my favorite ingredients. The ingredients are diced finely so you can get the freshness of the shrimps, fish, sea cucumber, crab, and silken tofu in every mouthful.

Sea cucumber might be a new ingredient to you. It is commonly sold in dried form and have to be boiled and soaked in water for 1 to 2 nights to fully rehydrate. It can be omitted if it is too troublesome or too weird for you.

80g fish fillet
80g sea cucumber
50g crab meat
100g silken tofu
750ml soup stock
