Summer in Neijiang
Can be quite unpredictable
Just yesterday it was windy and rainy
Today, it’s a bright sunny day
In such weather
It’s easy to feel hot and stuffy
Not only do you sweat, but your mood can also become irritable
Of course, we cannot fight against it; we can only adapt!
So, this article on summer medicinal dishes is something you should pay attention to, helping you to stay healthy.
1. Lotus Root and Pork Rib Soup
Raw lotus root can clear heat and relieve irritability, cool the blood and dispel summer heat, while cooked lotus root can strengthen the spleen and stomach. In hot summer weather, when the spleen and stomach are weak, consuming lotus root in moderation can strengthen digestion.
Lotus root paired with seasonal green beans can help moisten the intestines and detoxify, providing a refreshing taste. When stewed with pork ribs, it strengthens the spleen and stomach and boosts physical health.
2. Mung Bean and Old Duck Soup
Mung beans are rich in nutrients, containing various vitamins and minerals. Mung beans are cool in nature and sweet in flavor, with the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, quenching thirst, and promoting urination. Therefore, eating more mung beans in summer is beneficial. This mung bean and old duck soup is light and nutritious.
3. Crucian Carp and Tofu Soup
Among all fish, crucian carp is considered cool in nature, with tender meat. When cooked with soft tofu, the soup is fresh and high in calcium, making it ideal for summer consumption.
4. Winter Melon and Job’s Tears Pork Rib Soup
Winter melon can clear heat and detoxify, and also dispel summer heat. Job’s tears contain a certain amount of vitamin E, making it a beauty food that can maintain skin luster and delicacy, eliminate acne and blemishes, and improve complexion.
5. Job’s Tears and Brown Rice Porridge
Job’s tears have diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to expel excess water from the body and improve edema, while the dietary fiber in brown rice promotes intestinal peristalsis and aids digestion.
6. Loofah, Corn, and Fish Fillet Soup
Loofah has a sweet taste and cool nature, entering the lung, liver, stomach, and large intestine meridians, with effects of clearing heat, transforming phlegm, and cooling blood to detoxify. For those prone to heat in summer, it clears summer heat without harming the spleen and stomach.
Combined with sweet corn, which strengthens the spleen and clears heat and detoxifies, the effect is further enhanced. Salted egg nourishes yin and clears heat, helping to reduce excess fire.
