Chinese medicine believes that papaya has the effects of invigorating the spleen, aiding digestion, promoting lactation, and fighting against cancer. Not only is papaya nutritious, but it also has high medicinal value. Today, the editor brings you a recipe for "Papaya and Tremella Soup"!
【Name】
Papaya and Tremella Soup
【Ingredients】
- Half a papaya
- 1 piece of tremella fungus
- 25g of goji berries
- 500ml of water
- 50g of rock sugar
【Instructions】
1. Soak the tremella fungus and goji berries in cold water for about 30 minutes.
2. Peel and deseed the papaya, then cut into pieces.
3. Put an appropriate amount of water into a pot and bring it to a boil. Then, add the tremella fungus and rock sugar, and simmer for about 30 minutes.
4. Add the papaya and goji berries.
5. Simmer for another 5 minutes, then turn off the heat.
【Tips】
1. The tremella fungus should be soaked until it becomes gelatinous. Soak in cold water for at least 2 hours or in warm water for at least 1 hour.
2. It is recommended to tear or cut the tremella fungus into smaller pieces before simmering. The smaller the pieces, the easier it is for the gelatinous substance to come out.
3. When simmering, make sure the water covers the tremella fungus. Add enough water at once, as adding more water later will dilute the gelatinous substance.
4. Control the heat properly. The more the tremella fungus stirs in the pot while simmering, the easier it is for the gelatinous substance to come out. Therefore, boil on high heat first, then simmer on low heat for 20 minutes, boil on high heat for 10 minutes, simmer on low heat for another 10 minutes, and finally cover and let it steep for 10 minutes.
【Nutritional Value】
Papaya is not only delicious but also has therapeutic effects, especially for women in terms of beauty.
The protein-dissolving enzymes in papaya can compensate for the secretion of the pancreas and intestines, supplement insufficient gastric juice, and help digest proteins and starches.
Papaya contains carotene and rich vitamin C, which have strong antioxidant abilities. They help repair tissues, eliminate toxins, and enhance the body's immune system.
