What is Dong Quai Prawn Soup ?
Dong Quai (“Dang Gui“, in Mandarin), or its Medical name, Angelica Sinensis, has a unique pleasant sweet taste. This Chinese herb is also known as female ginseng. However, it could be taking by the whole family of all ages.

Dong Quai Prawn Soup Cooking Method
Method
(1) Place trimmed prawns (with shell remained intact) in a large bowl. Drizzle rice wine on the prawns. Cover pot and place in the refrigerator to marinate for about 30 minutes.
(2) Bring half a pot of water to a boil over medium fire. Add ginger and Dong Quai slices. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 15 – 20 min.
(3) Add prawns, wolfberries, garlic salt and brown sugar. Heat off when prawns turn pinkish. Do not overlook the prawns. Serve hot immediately.
A serving of my Ding Quai soup prawn counts less than 200kcal.
Tips: Use hard liquor instead of rice wine, for stronger alcoholic aroma and taste.
