Do not be mistaken. This is NOT Shark's Fin Soup with melon. This soup is made with a type of melon called Shark's Fin Melon (鱼翅瓜). This melon is so named because once cooked, the flesh will disintegrate into transparent strands that resembles shark's fins. Do not confuse this melon with it's cousin, Winter Melon although you could prepare them practically the same way! Here are some benefits of the Shark's Fin Melon: - Low in calories - Expels heatiness - Decreases blood sugar I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Bon appetit! |

Slow-cooked soups (ie, soup cooked over slow fire for several hours) are particularly popular especially among the Cantonese. Being one myself, soup plays an integral part in my life. I grew up eating rice in soups and I could survive on that for every single meal. Tradition wise, it is also imperative to have soup on the table during festive occasions. Some foods are known for their healing properties and our forefathers have cleverly incorporated such ingredients into soups. Recipes for such soups vary infinitely, depending upon the desired health benefits as well as taste. Here are some benefits of Lotus Root: - Stops diarrhea - Relieves constipation - Clears heat and improve appetite I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Bon appetit! |
