Method to Prepare Lung Nourishing Coconut White Fungus Herbal Chicken Soup

(1) Marinate chicken drumstick with seasoning (A) for 15min. 

(2) Rinse the dried oysters and set aside for later. 

(3) Carefully cut open the top of the coconut husk. Empty its coconut water into a bowl, set aside for later. Use a metal spoon to scrape out the coconut flesh inside, set aside for later. 

(4) In an emptied coconut shell, put in the herbs, marinated chicken drumstick and dried oysters. 

(5) Add salt to taste. Slowly fill in with the coconut water until full. (May mix with water if prefer milder sweetness in the soup) 

(6) Fill the large pot with 1/3 level of water. Place filled coconut in it. 

(7) Cover the pot, turn on high heat and let coconuts simmer for 1.5 to 2hr. Just make sure always have water in the pot throughout the double boiling process. Once ready, serve immediately.

Use young coconut if want to eat the coconut flesh, double boil the soup in coconut husk adds nutritional value to the soup by extraction of nutrients from the husk itself.
想吃椰肉的就用青椰,用椰壳炖还可以取出椰壳里的营养精华呢!

做法:

1)用调味料(A)将鸡腿腌制15分钟。

(2) 冲洗浸泡过的蚝豉,备用。

(3) 小心撬开椰子顶部。将椰子内的水倒入碗中,备用。用湯匙把椰子肉刮出來,备用。

(4) 在倒空的椰子壳中,放入备好的药材材料,腌制好的鸡腿,2个蚝豉。

(5) 加入少许的盐。慢慢加入椰子水。(不喜欢太甜的汤头,可以选择用开水参半来煮)

(6) 往大锅里倒入1/3的水。将装满的椰子放在大锅里。

(7) 盖好锅,打开大火,让椰子炖煮1.5至2小时。记得要确保在炖煮的过程中,锅中不可干水。炖好后熄火,上桌食用。

Use large coconut to fill in more ingredients and soup. Extend double boiling timing, if so. 加长炖的时间,如果用的椰子较大。

1 bowl of nourishing coconut chicken herbal soup counts less than 200kcal. 

1 碗清甜美味的椰子药材鸡汤也不多于200卡路里。

Double Boiling method is better?

As coconut husk is thick, double boiling with the coconut submerged in the boiling water to cook is more ideal than doing the steaming method. and why double boiling, and not directly cook in the pot?

Double boiled (炖) is not referring to boiling two times, but to layer the pots, by having the inner pot submerging within the outer pot of boiling water. This is to avoid the cooking to come in contact with direct fire. So as to retain more nutrients in the cooking better with its more gentle way of cooking. In my recipe, I used coconut shell as the “inner pot”. The use of coconut shell actually helps in adding some of its nutritional value into the soup through the double boiling process. However, to simplify the soup cooking, you may also choose to omit the coconut shell and use simply any ceramic/ metal pot you want to serve your soup at home. Easy.

I will just boil in pot for easy extra servings, if I have guests to serve at home. :)
太多人喝汤,我也会“偷懒”直接用锅来煮。:)

炖,比煮好吗?

炖,并不是煮两次的意思。而是把装食物的容器放进另一个装好滚水的较大容器里炖煮。这是让食材不用直接接触到明火,从而得到以文火慢煮的方式,把更多的营养成分保留在食物里。食谱里,我用了椰子壳充当内容器。使用椰子壳可以让椰子壳本身的一些营养成分,在炖煮的过程中也渗进汤里头。但想要直接了当的煮法,其实也可以用家里任何铁锅或沙煲来煮这道汤的。都还行。

Five Elements Food Therapy really works?

Traditional Chinese medicine and metaphysics, both learnt and believed in using “five elements vs five colors” diet therapy. Personally, I did benefit from the practice. After all, daily well balanced diet is what we are looking at.

五行五色养生食疗真的有效吗?

中医养生,风水学说,都相信五行五色食疗方法。信,则有。不信,则无。信,仰,但不迷信。说到底,营养均衡最为重要。五行五色食疗,不就是吗……

One of my go-to dining places when I need a quiet One of my go-to dining places when I need a quiet and relaxing (with live piano performance) dinner on a week night if I am in KL. #colonialcafe at The Majestic Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. 

Serving not just the Western, but Hainanese cuisine. Loved their dinner rolls (but not the butter), too. 

Averagely RM150 per pax for a 2-course (shared appetizer and main course) and coffee/ chilled drink.

Yes, I am in my mid 40, who lives well. ❤️ Ju Yes, I am in my mid 40, who lives well. ❤️

Just came across a random IG post this morning saying that “woman over 40, can never looked as young and as energetic as young girls no matter how well she took care of herself”…… In the first place, why should women over their 40s, to take care of themselves and their appearance, is to compare with young girls…. Why only women over 40 need to be taught by him (a guy at his 20s or so) that these women should and should not do certain things in their life…. Why only women over 40s….. Speechless. Period. #happymothersdaytoall
