This Burdock Soup is very tasty, with all natural taste, and I didn’t add any salt it was already so tasty. Of course, I know, the faux meat is already salted. LOL! Oh, if you are not vegetarian, you can use beef, chicken or pork instead.
Just to re-emphasize, burdock is a very good food. It regulates blood circulation, prevents high blood pressure, heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, stroke and lowers blood sugar. It is also believed to prevent cancer related disease. You can also cut this into thin slices and stir fry with other veggie to eat.
INGREDIENT
1/2 burdock (choose the thick ones)
1 carrot
1 corn
4-5 dried scallops (or 2 only if yours is big)
Some Faux meat (approx 200g)
1 tbsp QiZi (杞子)
METHOD
1. Put all ingredients into 3.5L of water, bring to boil.
2. Turn to slow heat and continue to cook for 4 hours.
3. Season with salt if you like.
Note: If you cook with conventional gas stove, then you need 3.5L water. I cook with induction cooker on power 3, I only use 2L or it will be too ‘watery’.
