Stomach is one of the important organs in the human body, but with the increasing pressure of life and work, more and more people have stomach problems. In fact, there are many foods that can nourish the stomach, and there is a stomach-nourishing soup that can be eaten every half month to easily nourish the stomach. Want to know the complete list of stomach-nourishing recipes and how to eat to nourish the stomach? Let's take a look together.
In the fast-paced urban life, many office workers have varying degrees of stomach problems. Stomach problems are not trivial, when it hurts, you can't even eat, let alone drink water. It is really uncomfortable, and I have personal experience.
Every time I have to take medication for a week to temporarily alleviate the pain. Taking medication like this all the time will also put a burden on the liver's detoxification. Stomach problems, in fact, can only be solved by one word, which is "nourishment".
To nourish the stomach, the stomach relies on regular daily routines, good eating habits, and occasional dietary therapy. This can make your stomach obedient and enjoy eating.
The following soup is a dietary therapy soup for nourishing the stomach. There is a saying in folk tradition that "eat what you lack". Therefore, we use pig stomach as the main ingredient, along with monkey head mushrooms.
This is a stomach-nourishing soup that should be stewed once every half month. If you eat it like this in the long term, you will find that stomach problems no longer occur. Your appetite will improve and your complexion will become better. I have personally experienced this.
Ingredients
1 pig stomach, 150g soaked monkey head mushrooms, 40g lotus seeds, 1 piece of ginger, 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, salt to taste, pepper to taste.
Instructions
1. Soak the lotus seeds in advance. If they have cores, use a toothpick to remove the cores, otherwise the soup will taste bitter. The cores of lotus seeds have a cooling effect, and this soup is a warming and nourishing stomach soup, so the cores should not be included. I used pre-washed and pre-soaked monkey head mushrooms, which is more convenient.
2. Start by washing the pig stomach. The pig stomach you just bought is covered with mucus. Rinse off the impurities on both sides with running water, then rub it with a little white vinegar and rinse it off. Add some flour and continue to scrub. Rinse it clean. After two rounds, the pig stomach will be clean and refreshing.
3. Boil a pot of hot water and place a plate inside the pig stomach. Hold the pig stomach up. Blanch for about 3 minutes. The plate is used to prevent the pig stomach from shrinking significantly during blanching.
4. After blanching, use a knife to scrape off the old skin, calluses, and fat on both sides of the pig stomach. Continue to rinse with warm water. This will prevent the soup from being greasy.
5. Stuff the monkey head mushrooms into the pig stomach. Put it into a stew pot and add enough hot water. Add a small piece of ginger. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer slowly over low heat for about 2 hours in total.
6. This is when it has been stewed for about 1 and a half hours, and the soup has turned white.
7. Take out the pig stomach and cut it into strips with a knife or kitchen scissors. Put it back into the stew pot and continue to stew.
8. At the same time, pour the cleaned lotus seeds into the pot. Continue to simmer for about half an hour. Then add salt to taste and, if you like, some pepper. This soup is very delicious and does not need to be added with chicken essence.
Benefits
"Compendium of Materia Medica" states: "Pig stomach is an essential ingredient for tonifying the spleen. If the spleen and stomach are nourished, the Qi in the body will be enhanced." It can be seen that pig stomach is a good ingredient for tonifying the spleen and stomach.
Monkey head mushrooms have a neutral taste and a sweet flavor. They have the effects of benefiting the five organs, aiding digestion, and nourishing the body. Modern medicine has proven that monkey head mushrooms have good medicinal value, and clinical applications have shown that they can treat indigestion, gastric ulcers, gastric sinusitis, stomach pain, bloating, and neurasthenia.
Tips
Wash the pig stomach well so that the soup will not be fishy. Stew the whole pig stomach first, and then cut it into pieces afterwards to avoid the stewed pig stomach from curling and becoming tough. The texture will be more tender and smooth.
