Selection of soup ingredients
● If your body is full of fire, you should choose sweet and cool soup materials, such as mung beans, coix seed, kelp, wax gourd, lotus seeds, and Chinese herbal medicines such as sword flowers and abrus cantonensis.
If your body is too cold, then you should choose some hot soup, such as ginseng.
● Cordyceps sinensis, ginseng and other medicinal materials are not suitable for soup in summer. Even in autumn and winter, herbs for nourishing yin and strengthening yang are not suitable for young people and children.
● In the choice of soup materials, those used for stewing must not be used for stewing, such as ginseng, velvet antler and bird's nest.
● Most northerners think that spices should be added to the soup, such as onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, aniseed, chicken essence, monosodium glutamate and cooking wine. In fact, judging from the experience of Guangdong people in making soup, these seasonings are unnecessary. If necessary, a piece of ginger is enough. Pay attention to the original flavor of the soup. As long as the cooking time is long enough, the delicious soup will naturally overflow.
