Winter melon is cold, and has the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, diuresis, relieving cough and resolving phlegm. And the effect of relieving cough and resolving phlegm with skin decoction is better. Considering that grapefruit peel and melon are cold foods, I also added raw meat, ginger slices and hot red dates to this soup to neutralize the coldness of melon and melon peel. Let's take a look at the operation steps.
Grapefruit peel and winter melon bone soup food: grapefruit peel 1/4 pieces, winter melon 200g, raw pork 200g. Ingredients: 25g lotus seed, 20g coix seed, 1 ginger, 3 red dates, onion and salt. Cooking process:
The first step is to remove the bitter taste of grapefruit peel. First, peel off the yellow skin of grapefruit skin and keep the white flesh inside. Boil a pot of boiling water, add salt, put the white pulp of grapefruit peel into the pot and cook for 1-2 minutes, then turn off the heat.
Then pour the water and white pulp from the pot into a bowl and soak it for one night. During the period, you should change more water (squeeze the grapefruit skin first, then change the water in the fish tank). I forgot to take pictures, sorry ~
Step 2, put lotus seeds, coix seed and red dates into a bowl, add a proper amount of warm water to soak and soak the food. Raw pork is washed and cut into diced meat, wax gourd is peeled and cut into small pieces (if wax gourd is peeled, it is very easy to cook soup), bitter grapefruit peel is removed and cut into thick strips, and ginger is washed and cut into thin slices.
Step 3: put diced meat, grapefruit peel, lotus seeds, coix seed, red dates and ginger slices into a pot, add appropriate amount of water, and simmer 1 hour. 1 hour, put small pieces of wax gourd into the pot, and then cook for 1 hour. After the soup pot is cooked, add salt to taste, and sprinkle with shallots to serve.
The soup boiled with treated grapefruit peel and wax gourd is not bitter, and the taste of the soup is a little sweet. If the child has a lot of cough and phlegm in the early stage, you can boil this soup out for the child to drink, which can clear the lungs and moisten the lungs, relieve cough and resolve phlegm. Drinking it every three to five times is good for your health.
The skin of wax gourd is cold. If you don't peel it, you can make soup immediately, and the fire will have a better effect. In addition, the peel is very easy to boil and dissolve after peeling, so try to keep the peel. Lotus seeds, coix seed and red dates should be soaked in clear water first, and then boiled to better show their nutritional components.
