I read about Burdock somewhere, that it is a ‘heath’ food for Chinese, used to remove toxins from body as well as to prevent cancer. I finally saw it in Tesco, and apparently it is widely sold in the market. I just didn’t pay any attention to it before.
I used it, together with some coriander, pumpkin and carrots, and made this soup. This is a vegan recipe. For more savory or ‘meaty’ result, you may add in chicken or beef chunks.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 stalk burdock (roughly 250g)
4 stalks coriander
600g pumpkin
1 large carrots (or 2 medium)
1 tbsp QiZi (杞子)
4 red dates
METHOD
1. Wash burdock, peel and cut into chunks.
2. wash and drain coriander.
3. Remove pumpkin skin and pith. Cut into chunks.
4. Peel carrot and cut into chunks.
5. Rinse red dates and core. Rinse QiZi.
6. Boil 1.5L water. Put in all ingredients. Boil over high heat for 30 min. Reduce to low heat and continue cooking for 1 hour. Season with salt and serve.
