The taste is rich and slightly bitter, with a refreshing aftertaste, making it an excellent choice for summer refreshment.
Ginseng Chicken SoupGinseng chicken soup is made with chicken as the main ingredient, along with ginseng, goji berries, and red dates, slow-cooked into a rich broth. Chicken from thighs or whole bird is cut into pieces and simmered with cleaned ginseng, goji berries, and red dates until tender and flavorful.
Spiced Boiled SoybeansSpiced soybeans are made by blanching fresh soybeans and slowly simmering them with various spices and seasonings. Key ingredients include star anise, cinnamon, Sichuan pepper, ginger, and green onions, which infuse the beans with rich flavor through soaking and stewing.
Braised Kelp Knots with Spiced FlavorSpiced seaweed knots are made primarily from seaweed knots, which are soaked and then simmered with various spices and seasonings. To prepare, the seaweed knots are briefly boiled to remove any fishy odor, then slowly stewed in a seasoned broth until they fully absorb the rich flavors of the sauce.
Spiced Braised Quail EggsMarinated quail eggs are a dish primarily made with quail eggs, which are boiled and then slowly simmered in a specially prepared marinade, allowing the eggshells to absorb the rich flavors. During preparation, ingredients such as soy sauce, star anise, cinnamon bark, and bay leaves are typically added to enhance taste and create a deep, rich color.
