In the hot summer weather, many people like to drink some cooling soups, such as kelp soup, which has a good cooling effect. Below, I will recommend several ways to cook kelp soup, which not only tastes delicious but also has high nutritional value!
Method 1: Kelp and Mung Bean Soup
1. Rinse the glutinous rice and mung beans separately. Soak the tangerine peel in water until soft and cut into strips. Wash the kelp and cut into small pieces.
2. In a pot, add 1500ml of water and bring to a boil. Add the mung beans and cook for 10 minutes. Then add the glutinous rice, kelp, tangerine peel strips, and ginger strips. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for about 40 minutes until thickened.
3. Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Then turn off the heat.
Method 2: Tomato and Kelp Soup
1. Cut the tomatoes into pieces. Dice the potatoes, carrots, onions, celery, and lean meat.
2. Cook the noodles in boiling water until done, then remove and rinse with cold water. If not eaten immediately, you can mix them with a little sesame oil and salt, cover with plastic wrap, and put them in the refrigerator.
3. Heat the oil in a pan, add ginger strips and stir-fry the lean meat. Pour in a little cooking wine and stir-fry until cooked. Then add the tomato pieces and stir-fry until the juice comes out. Add the other ingredients and stir-fry. Add salt, seasonings, and chicken essence. Stir-fry until cooked, then pour over the noodles.
Method 3: Kelp and Soybean Sprout Soup
1. Soak the dried kelp in water for a few hours, then wash it clean. Cut the kelp into shreds. Cut the ginger into slices. Wash the soybean sprouts.
2. Put the kelp shreds, soybean sprouts, and ginger slices into a pot. It is best to use a clay pot. Fill the pot with water and simmer on low heat for an hour. The longer the better, but be careful not to let it dry out. Add some water if necessary.
3. Just before turning off the heat, add a little salt, light soy sauce, and sesame oil. The taste is very delicious.
Method 4: Winter Melon and Kelp Soup
1. Pour water into a pot and add kelp. Cook for 45-50 minutes.
2. Peel the winter melon and cut it into slices about 1.5 cm thick. Add it to the soup and cook until the winter melon is tender (you can add ginger strips at this time to prevent coldness).
3. Add a little salt and chicken essence to taste. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious flavor.
