Ty for your recipe. Recently I found that seasoning at the beginning makes the soup taste much better.

@ChineseHerbalPantry

25 күн бұрын

@Christinechow, my pleasure! Yeah adding seasoning at the beginning will make the soup taste better! However, usually I prefer to add it at the end, as I find it easier to adjust the level of seasoning after all the flavours of the herbs released, especially for beginner or new to a particular recipe. If newcomer, they won't know what the herbs actually taste like, adding the seasoning at the start may make it too salty or otherwise. It is nice to know how the herbs taste before all flavouring, it is learning process to learn the quality of the herbs before adding too much flavouring!

Hi @light ride, I am very glad to hear you enjoyed watching this video. Thanks for your suggestion too. Chinese herbs pricing is vastly different in different countries. For example, I can buy Chinese herbs much cheaper in Malaysia compare to Australia. Many factors affect it, such as shipping,, regulatory, labour, quality/grades of the herbs, packaging, sizes of orders etc . The changes of seasons, supply/demand also greatly affect the cost of the ingredients. . So, if I add the costs of these ingredients on my video, they can be misleading for others depending on the locations of the viewers. I think the best way if to shop at your local Chinese herbal stores and Asian grocery to check out your local costs to cook these recipes. Hope the above help and hope you have fun learning, shopping and learning!

What is the scientific name for the Glehnia root? I found everything you listed but not that herb? Even so, I went ahead and made the soup. The curiosity was killing me. It was delicious. The fungi tasted like an egg noodle! I don't know if this was okay, but I added 3 pre-boiled eggs at the last 15minuts of cooking and just half a tablespoon of low salt chicken broth seasoning for added flavor. It's funny how your body reacts to food and vitamins it likes and needs. I could feel how happy my body felt eating this soup. Can't wait to do the soup again when I can find the last herb.

Hi @Bailey, so sorry for the late reply! Firstly, the scientific name for the Glehnia root is simply Radix Glehniae. It is quite a common herb that I think you should be able to find at the Chinese herb section in any Asian grocery shop. Or if you have trouble finding it in a grocery shop, please look for a Chinese herbal shop (hopefully you will find one in Chinatown), and tell them you want Sha Shen (沙参) (please copy and paste this Chinese name and print it in a paper and show them). You should be able to find it! Secondly, I am so so happy to hear that you are trying this soup and that you love it and find it delicious! 😊👏 Ha I love the white fungus too! Yes, you can add boiled eggs and the extra flavour of chicken broth seasoning. Yeah, I know hey. When you are eating the food that is right for your own body type, your body can feel it! Wishing you good health and I will see you at my next video 😘

@ChineseHerbalPantry

Hi Margarita, no, you don't have to use chicken. Chicken has its function there but also for flavour. You can substitute with vegetables. Depending if you want to move the recipe to more cooling or more balanced. Chicken is warming here, other herbs slightly cooling, so this recipe is kind of 'balanced'. If you want it to be more cooling, then add vegetables that are more cooling, such as celery, radish or just neutral, such as potatoes. If you want it to be a little balanced, you can add vegetables that are more warming. onions. Frankly, while me being a trained herbalist, I am very particular as this is my job 🤣. And that is also why I created an online course to teach people who want to learn who to create simple recipes specifically for themselves. But for very general use, ,you can just mix and match some vegetables! It may not matter that much!
