Cai Zhilin’s medicinal soup packets.
This is not the first time I have bought Cai Zhilin’s products. A few years ago, I bought Cai Zhilin’s beauty and beauty products from Yami: peach gum, saponaria rice and snow swallow, which are so good when cooked with white fungus and rock sugar. have eaten. Cai Zhilin has a century-old quality and originated in 1806. It is a good choice for nourishing ginseng antler. This time I tried Cai Zhilin’s medicinal soup packets, the 24 solar term soup packets of the Beginning of Summer Solstice Soup - Shenxu Lotus Seed Soup.
➡️Contains 5 kinds of health-preserving ingredients:
Ginseng whiskers: a holy product of nourishing stews. It tastes slightly bitter when eaten directly.
White lotus seeds: often made of white fungus and lotus seeds soup, lotus seeds, osmanthus and lotus root powder.
Gorgon fruit: a food that nourishes the stomach. It has a soft texture and can be used to make porridge that nourishes the stomach.
Candied dates: These are golden candied dates that have been cut into texture, but are not pitted.
Ginkgo: The taste is chewy. Ginkgo stewed chicken is a famous dish.
There is quite a lot of ginseng root in it, because the instructions say that the consumption of ginseng should be less than 3 grams per day, and I like the light ginseng flavor not to be too strong, so I plan to divide this pack of ginseng into several times to stew the soup. The instructions stated that you can stew lean pork, but I decided to stew chicken soup because I have bought instant Korean ginseng chicken soup from Yami several times before and it tasted very good, so I wanted to try making a similar pot of soup using this packet of soup ingredients. Samgyetang.
The unused ginseng roots and other ingredients this time will be used to make a pot of ginseng chicken soup next time, so this packet of soup ingredients can be used more than once, and the soup can be made several times separately, and the diet is mainly light.
➡️【Prepare ingredients】:
Cai Zhilin soup bag, mung beans, ginger, garlic, onion, chicken, peanut oil, sesame oil
➡️[Production process]:
1. Wash ginseng whiskers, white lotus, gorgon fruit, ginkgo, candied dates with water and soak them for 30 minutes.
2. Ginger, garlic, onion, slice and set aside. Pour peanut oil into the pot, add ginger, garlic and onion and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add raw chicken legs and continue to stir-fry to bring out the aroma of chicken oil. Be sure to use chicken legs with chicken skin and use native chicken for soup. Better.
3. After the ingredients are stir-fried (the first step of stir-frying is the secret to making the soup fragrant and beautiful), directly pour a small amount of water into the same pot without covering the chicken legs, simmer over medium heat until the soup turns yellowish white, and then add more Cover the chicken legs with an appropriate amount of water and continue cooking.
4. Pour the Caizhilin soup package into the pot: ginseng whiskers, white lotus, Gorgon fruit, candied dates, and ginkgo. Bring to a boil over high heat and then turn to medium-low heat. After 20 minutes, add a few washed mung beans and simmer for another 30 minutes until the mung beans are cooked. Soft. The addition of mung beans was inspired by a certain Korean ginseng chicken soup from Yami, and adding mung beans has proven to be a good way to thicken the soup. (💚️For mung beans, I used the organic mung beans I bought from Yami. One super big pack can be eaten for a long time. The small container for the mung beans was the small box that holds snacks in the Guancha gift box I bought from Yami. It has many uses because the shape and size are just right. good.)
5. Add salt to taste at the end of the pot. I used the body of a traditional stainless steel pressure cooker for the whole process. This old-fashioned pot has thick sides and bottom, and the surroundings are heated evenly, so it is very suitable for making soup.
❤️Enjoy such nutritious and delicious homemade ginseng chicken soup in the cold winter. You can make it with rice and make a simple meal! I also used the inspiration of mutton steamed buns. I scooped a bowl of homemade ginseng chicken soup and soaked some home-made pancakes (Korean flour bought in Yami was used to make the cakes). The steamed buns steamed in ginseng chicken soup were so delicious! Eat all the 5 ingredients including the soup, pork and zhilin!
