Recipes with Apricot
Chengjia has been sick for three weeks and the sound of his cough has changed. I made this nourishing soup to moisten the body for everyone. The soup has the sweetness of snap peas, the fragrance of corn, and the sweetness of carrots. It is good for you to drink more of this soup. Guangdong people just love to drink soup.
During a training session on Traditional Chinese Medicine's "Medicine and Food Have the Same Origin" (Chinese Medicine and Food), the instructor specifically mentioned that "Pitaya Flower Soup" is a signature Cantonese summer soup! (It was only through the training that I learned that "Pitaya Flower" is actually the flower of the dragon fruit.) Pitaya Flower itself clears heat and moistens the lungs, acting like a "cooling air conditioner" for your respiratory tract. Drinking this soup can be incredibly soothing for a dry cough in the summer. Pork bones replenish calcium and protein, and with our high daily activity levels, drinking this soup can boost our energy. Carotene, known as "little ginseng," is rich in vitamin A, which can relieve dry eyes and brighten skin. Apricot kernels and figs moisten the lungs, relieve coughs, and aid digestion. After a heavy barbecue hot pot meal, a bowl of this soup can also help alleviate stomach discomfort. This summer soup clears heat and moisturizes dryness, while also nourishing the body, making it suitable for the whole family. Those who appreciate life and appreciate the "sigh" (enjoyment) of life should definitely try this summer soup!
Watercress and Kidney Soup is a classic Cantonese soup. The salty aroma of the kidney stimulates the appetite and aids digestion, while also adding a richer flavor to the base. The combination of sweet and apricot kernels moistens the lungs and relieves coughs, without leaving a dry taste. The watercress, with its inherent sweetness, softens and dissolves in the broth, clearing heat, moistening the lungs, and promoting urination. This soup is refreshing and soothing, relieving both greasiness and dryness. No wonder Cantonese people love it!
Apple and pear tea is a traditional Chinese fruit tea made from apples, pears and other ingredients. It has the effect of moistening the throat and clearing away heat, and has a sweet taste, making it suitable for enjoying in the dry season.
This dessert combines a variety of nuts and seeds such as peanuts, apricot kernels, brown rice, sesame seeds, black soybeans, mung beans, and red beans, soaked and cooked with dried longan to create a rich and nutritious warm drink. The roasting of the sesame seeds adds a distinctive aroma, while the longan provides a touch of natural sweetness. Served warm, this dish is perfect for a comforting and healthy dessert.
