Recipe: Seaweed Soup With Tofu

Unlike my other 老火汤 recipes which require long hours of simmering, this is a relatively no-frills soup which can be done in a jiffy.

So, if you are pressed for time yet craving for soup, this is the recipe for you.

This is quite a light soup as the main ingredients are just Tofu and Seaweed. You may like to add some seafood, meatballs or even Yong Tau Foo to make the taste more robust.

I happened to have some Prawns and Fish Maw lying around in the fridge so I added those into the soup as well.

Here are some benefits of Seaweed:

- Prevents fat absorbtion
- Reduces water retention
- Promotes mental youthfulness

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

Bon appetit!

Recipe: White Radish With Spare Ribs Soup 白萝卜排骨汤

White Radish, also known as Daikon to many, is a very versatile root vegetable.

You could pickle it, stew it, fry it, saute it, cook soup with it and even make a (carrot) cake out of it!

I used to hate it whenever Mum cooks this soup as I would always mistake the smell for a gas leak only to realise it's coming from the Radish!

As I grew up, I began to appreciate this humble root more when I knew how beneficial it is.

Here are some benefits of the White Radish:

- Aids weight loss
- Aids in digestion
- Eases sore joints
- Dissolves phlegm
- Reinforces energy
- Clears stuffy nose
- Dissolves gall stones
- Regulates metabolism
- Improves blood circulation

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

Bon appetit!
