Medicated Diet One: Dujiaogan and Pig Diaphragm Soup
Ingredients: Dujiaogan, pig diaphragm, ginger, honey jujube
Method:
Soak Dujiaogan in water for about 15 minutes to remove fine sand and impurities; wash the pig diaphragm and cut off the white fat. Then cut the pig diaphragm into small pieces, put them in cold water, and remove them when the water boils.
Rinse again with clean water, and pour it into a clay pot along with ginger slices. Ginger can remove the smell of pig diaphragm. Adding honey jujube can make the soup sweeter.
Add about 4 cups of water, boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, and season with a little salt.
Usage: If you like to eat pig diaphragm, you can leave it out first. After simmering the medicinal herbs over low heat for 30 minutes, add the pig diaphragm and simmer for another 10 minutes. This way, the pig diaphragm will have a better texture, slightly soft and elastic rather than tough. Overcooked meat will be harder to chew.
Efficacy: Dujiaogan is commonly used for infantile malnutrition, infantile summer heat, infantile diarrhea, and jaundice hepatitis. Pig diaphragm is the spleen of a pig, which can invigorate the spleen and stomach, aid digestion, nourish the lungs and moisturize dryness, moisturize the complexion, and remove liver fire. This soup is suitable for both young and old, especially for children with poor appetite, and it has the best effect on malnutrition.
