Rehydrate dried seafood items including sea cucumber, fish maw, and dried scallops ahead of time according to standard preparation methods.

Layer the ingredients carefully into a traditional earthenware jar or heavy-duty stockpot.
Pour in the rich chicken stock, Shaoxing wine, and add soy sauce and salt.
Cover tightly and simmer on very low heat (or double-boil) for 4 to 6 hours until deeply rich and aromatic.

Serve piping hot directly from the earthenware pot to preserve its complex aromas.
