It is no exaggeration to say that "no soup can make summer" is used in the summer of Cantonese people. No matter how hot it is, there is always a bowl of home-cooked soup on the dining table. When you go out to eat, you will also order a pot of soup first, and then eat the soup first. Good eating habits have gradually won the love and welcome of people all over the country from south to north. If you want to know the diet in Guangdong, you have to look at the three meals a day of ordinary people. It is said that Cantonese people are particularly pragmatic, and they care most about what they eat three times a day. Only by keeping a good body and a good stomach can you have the energy to fight hard.

In the hot summer, the soup of ordinary people is naturally indispensable. Ingredients that strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach, clear the heart and moisten the lungs can bring a little coolness to this hot summer. The reason why I don't like cold drinks is because I have enough soup every day. Drinking coarse tea can quench my thirst. Why touch those cold drinks with a lot of sugar that are particularly easy to make people fat and unhealthy? This bowl of soup is especially recommended for children today. Strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst make children sweat easily. Cooked several times a week, the child's spleen and stomach are well maintained.

Materials: Pseudostellaria heterophylla 15g, lean meat 1g (about 200g), 3-4 figs, 2 candied dates and a little salt.

Specific steps:

1. Prepare ingredients. Lean meat can be tenderloin or pure lean meat. This part is tender, suitable for soup or stew, with a little meat flavor, but not greasy.

2. Pseudostellaria heterophylla, also known as "children's ginseng", is the root part of Dianthus, not the ginseng we often say. Small in size, it is called "Pseudostellaria heterophylla" because it looks like ginseng. Generally, it can be bought in pharmacies, which has the effects of promoting fluid production, quenching thirst and strengthening the spleen and stomach. Before being used for decoction, Radix Pseudostellariae is washed and soaked in clear water.

3. Cut the lean meat into pieces, put it in cold water, boil it and blanch it 1 min. When meat ingredients are used for soup or stew, they need to be blanched once. This step cannot be omitted.

4. Put the scalded lean meat, soaked and washed Radix Pseudostellariae, figs and candied dates into the stew pot of the health pot. Choose a health pot to make stew, without looking at the fire, just set the time and function, which is convenient and relaxed.

5. Set the health soup function for 2 hours, and then wait quietly for the waterproof stew function in the health pot to stew the stew into essence.

Drinking soup without eating meat is the essence of stew, because lean meat, after a long period of stew, is usually not eaten because of its much meat. The key is to drink soup to support people, especially in hot summer. A bowl of good soup, refreshing and nourishing the stomach, is much better than a cold drink for children in summer.

Tip:

Scalded lean meat is less fishy, and the stew is sweet but not greasy. It can also be paired with several Ophiopogon japonicus, and it also has the effect of nourishing the heart, moistening the lungs and strengthening the spleen.
