First of all, we need to understand the medicinal value of Angelica sinensis, which is mainly used to treat rheumatic pain, and also has the function of promoting blood circulation. As a tonic dish, I will talk about the traditional method of stewing chicken and Angelica sinensis together.
Because this method is very effective for women and has the effect of relieving amenorrhea and dysmenorrhea.
First, prepare a black-bone chicken, and then prepare angelica, ginger, raw rehmannia, wolfberry, fleece-flower root, etc. After washing the black-bone chicken, remove the internal organs, cut it into small pieces, and wrap the ingredients just mentioned with clean gauze.
Then, prepare a ceramic pot, add an appropriate amount of water, just enough to cover the chicken. Do not put the accessories in it yet. Cook the chicken over high heat for a while, and use a spoon to remove the floating foam. Only then can you put in the pot.
As auxiliary ingredients, angelica can also be added separately, because angelica is not easy to cook.
Therefore, angelica can be prepared in advance and cut into small sections before adding it.
Then, simmer over high heat for an hour. Use chopsticks to insert the meat. If it can penetrate the meat, it means it is cooked. You can add salt and chicken essence. After the pot is removed, you can add chopped green onion. This is the traditional method.
Of course, in winter, I recommend making Angelica mutton soup, which can be said to nourish qi and blood, and is suitable for people with weak constitutions. The ingredients to be prepared are: mutton, angelica, Codonopsis pilosula, ginger, wolfberry, etc.
First cut the mutton into pieces, then cut the angelica into sections and slice the ginger. Simply blanch the mutton, then put it into a pot, add an appropriate amount of water, and add the accessories as well. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer.
After stewing for an hour, the smell of mutton filled the whole house.
Angelica and Motherwort eggs: 20 grams of Angelica sinensis, 30 grams of Motherwort, and 2 eggs. Add appropriate amount of water to a pot and cook until the eggs are cooked. Remove the shells and prick a few holes with a needle.
Add the concoction and cook for 3 to 5 minutes before eating the eggs and drinking the soup. Take it once a day for 30 days as a course of treatment. This recipe has the effects of nourishing blood and kidneys, regulating menstruation, relieving pain, and preventing miscarriage. It is suitable for patients with kidney deficiency.
Irregular menstruation, abdominal pain during menstruation, endometriosis, anovulation or obstruction of the incubator tube caused by blood deficiency, qi stagnation and blood stasis, cold coagulation.
