Mung Bean, Kelp and Rue Herb Sweet Soup 臭草海帶綠豆沙

Mung Bean, Kelp and Rue Herb Sweet Soup 臭草海帶綠豆沙

Generally speaking, sweet soups that have beans in them will use brown rock sugar that is in slabs. They usually come in 400 g packages with 5 slabs. I used 2 slabs which I thought was a good sweetness but my mom found it too sweet. So, maybe start with 1 slab and keep adding until you find the right sweetness. You may serve with ice cream, grass jelly and/or shaved ice. Not recommended for pregnant women. Best not to be consumed on an empty stomach.

Lotus Root and Dried Octopus Soup 章魚蓮藕湯

Lotus Root and Dried Octopus Soup 章魚蓮藕湯

I used a whole chicken for this recipe, but you can use any part of the chicken. Chicken legs and chicken wings come to mind. I’m not a big fan of eating ginger, but I like ginger flavour. So, in this recipe, I didn’t add any shredded ginger with the shredded green onions. If you like cilantro, add it with the green onions and also some to cook the sauce.
