Sweet Apple Soup

If you haven't noticed, am on a soupy roll - ha ha!!


Made this soup aka tong sui as Master Prince's been having this linger spat of dry cough that doesn't seem to go away.




Ingredients

3 red apples (optional - can swap one red for a green), peeled cut in the centre with core removed
8 red dates, pitted
8g sweet & bitter almonds
10g white fungus, soaked in water for 2 hours and remove any hard bits
8g chuan bei (was told crushed is more effective but can use them in seed form)
2 pieces of rock sugar (to taste)
4.5 cups of water




ps. White fungus benefits the spleen, strengthens the stomach and expels dryness. It is also said to be effective in nourishing the lungs, healing dry cough and clearing heat in the lungs.

Chuan bei (Fritillariae Cirrhosae) removes heat, moistens the lungs, clears phlegm and relieves cough. It is very effective against prolonged cough due to vacuity of the lungs.

Sweet and bitter almonds helps and relief cough. Note that sweet almond seeds do not contain amygdalin and can be eaten, whereas bitter almonds can be toxic (so don't eat them raw). The poisonous hydrocyanic acid contained in bitter almonds breaks down when heated, so the poison is unlikely to accumulate when used in any cooked dish.

Red dates has blood-nourishing properties and can be widely used with other ingredients to nourish the body.



Method:

1. Put everything into a pot and cover with lid (with small opening ajar) and bring to boil before lowering heat to simmer for about 2 hours.

2. Taste whether sweet enough. Serve warm with some white fungus.


Bench notes - Choose white fungus that are slightly yellowish in colour as white ones means that they have been bleached!
