Lotus, Huai Shan & Pork Ribs Soup

Recently I have  being cooking this Lotus, Huai Shan & Pork Ribs Soup at least once a week. This soup is recommend by one of the Chinese Physician who I often visit, according to her this soup helps to improve the Qi in our body.

It consists of Fresh Huai Shan which taste sweet and helps to nourish our lungs and kidneys, strengthens the spleen, stops diarrhea, uplifts the spirit and benefits Qi. Besides that this soup can also helps to improve the appetite of young children and adults during hot weather. You can add about 2 slices of Bei Qi which helps to in strengthens the Heart, promotes urination, lowers blood pressure as well as boosts the immune system.

Steam Herbal Chicken

We love to cook this Steamed Herbal Chicken at least once or twice every fortnightly either half portion of chicken, chicken wings or chicken drumsticks depending what we prefer on that week. If you have some ready Chinese Herbs at home, it is actually better to use that rather than getting premixed spices from supermarkets.

There are many different methods in preparing this dish where some might prefer stronger herbal taste or lighter. My method here might be different from your so this is just for reference and sharing you can always add or remove ingredients which is not accessible on your end.

Kueh Salat

This was my 2nd attempt on making Kueh Salat which is a typical Nonya Snack which made of glutinous rice, eggs and coconut milk! I do admit it's a bit tricky when comes to making the custard layer because it tends to get harden while you are trying to boil the coconut milk. My family and I love this tea snack and we are glad that it turns out good with wobble custard layer and soft glutinous rice below.
