I remember having this as a child. With my mum having CoVid I decided to make this for her. She loved it and helped to soothe her cough and chest as she recovers from her illness stint. Thank you so much for your recipe! I can truly recommend giving this a go. I bought the herbs in a ready made pack from a Chinese shop.
the gunk comes out so the soup will be more clear. It applies to other meats used in Chinese soup too. Most of the time we use pork spleen or pork bones. Always boil the meat first to let out all the gunk and blood. You will see the grey foam float to the top. You don't want that in your soup.Then wash it under cold water. Hope this helps
@@rosh188 no problem 😉 when you see all that gray stuff/foam come out as you boil the meat, you will know what I mean by not wanting that junk in the soup 😂
Yes you can use whatever herbs you have, its no problem. Tcm has so many Mix n match recipes. I add brazillan mushroom into my herbal soup last night and it was delicious.

May I ask why we need to parboil the chicken and then add it to the soup (just trying to understand the process) 🙏

Can i add some shaoxing wine ?
We dont add shaoxing wine into herbal soup.
Where I should buy
You can buy all ingredients in chinese medicine stores in Chinatown.
😋👍
Is it okay if I don't have all of the ingredients? I don't have lily bulbs, lotus seed, and pears. And, can I add shitake mushroom in here too?

@@1228cooking thank you! 😊 love these types of videos
👍👍👍
If for 2 portion just need to double up the ingredients? Thanks
This recipe fit for 4 pax can add more water if needed.
Yes for 2 portions can double up the ingredients.
Instead of chicken can use pork?
Yes of course can.
Not lotus seeds....they're fox nuts.
It's lotus seeds with skins. Fox nuts are different n smaller in size.
@@1228cooking my bad, I had no idea that there are red lotus seeds. That's taught me! Thank you for posting this up.
Please Google “China dried red lotus seeds”
I grew up in a chinese medical Store that sell herbal ingredients.
