Green Bean (Mung Bean) soup
For 1 person, (multiply the amount if you are preparing for 2 or more)
1/4 cup of green bean
1 1/2 cup of water
Procedure:
Wash the green bean
Place the green bean into the saucepan, and then add water
Bring the water to boil on high, then lower the fire to medium, boil for 8-10 minutes depend on the season, with the lid on. (Do not open the lid while it is cooking). The beans are just about to split and water is at its most green state, drain the water that should give you 1 cup, just drink the water, and discard the beans.
(optional) Extra to add is Huang Qi (Astragalus root)
Huang Qi replenishes & benefit Qi, helps to strengthen our protective Qi & Zhong Qi; start with 2 pieces of Huang Qi, Huang Qi is slightly warm in property, so if you feel that it is too warm (e.g. your mouth starts to have sores) stop using it. You can add up to 8-10 pieces, just adjust to suit your body
Green colour is the colour of Liver, this green bean soup, as long as you cook it according to my instruction, NEVER over cook and if it turns meshy, it loses its usage. It helps to strengthen the Liver, Nourish the liver to help it function better. By drinking the soup every morning, it has helped Diabetes and Hypertension to return to normal, as well as any livery condition (anger, anxious, frustration), it benefits the liver. You must prepare it fresh and drink it hot-warm within 15 minutes after cooking, you can either drink it in the morning with or before breakfast (or when you feel stress during the day); once a day is good enough. |
