Lesson 4 : Covid 19 prevention herbal soup with cosmetics advantages

I want to share a Covid-19 prevention herbal formula based on the homologous culture of Chinese medicine and food.

First of all, we learn the 2 key ingredients, Soybean and black bean. In most Asian cooking, we used herbs, beans and spices to prepare delicious and nutritious foods.

How to pick good quality of soybeans? Pick plump rounded soybeans, with hard texture, moist shinning color, no broken surface, no mildew. And remember to store in a dry place. It is best to use organic soybeans and avoid eating genetically modified soybeans.

Soybeans
According to Chinese medicine theory, Soybean prevents cardiovascular diseases, improves digestion, helps to reduce stomach bloating, moisturizing dry and rough skin, reduces risk of cancer and increases breast milk production.

There are many Asia soy based foods you can easily find in the Asian supermarket. Although in Western countries scientists said soy beans can caused cancer, in Asia society, we believe soy beans help to prevent cancer. In the future, I might write another blog to discuss this topic.

In Asia, Soy plays Important role in Asian diets, the cooking of using soybean can be very creative, for example : cook soup, make dessert, bake bread, create tofu, boil soy drink, and through the fermentation process, we make soy sauce, miso paste etc.

Black beans (Glycine max) is a type of soybeans native to East Asia usually fermented for making soy sauce or cook soup with meat. In the five elements, the kidney is subsumed to water and the colour is black. This means that the black beans are the "grains of the kidney" because of its black colour.

Black beans
As recorded in many Chinese medicine books, black beans nourish the kidney vitality, slow down the aging process, improve vision, reduce limbs' water retention, reduce wrinkles, prevent the formation of dark spots, make your skin glow and smooth.  

This is a very common black bean soup that most of the Chinese housewives will know how to cook. The ingredients are black beans, lotus root, red dates, pork ribs and dried mandarin peel. This soup is usually cooked for 2 to 3 hours and season with a bit of salt. For back pain, they will use pork tail instead of pork ribs.

In Chinese society, black bean soup with pork shinbone is for rapid recovery for muscles and bones injury, of course we have many ways to eat black bean, such as making porridge, pastry etc. In the west, you might seldom heard of "Douchi", this is a type of fermented black bean. It is very effective in treating cold and fever, headache and annoying heat around the chest.

My friend Helen knows how to cook the best Dochi fried fish in Kota Kinabalu. Fried fish in oil , served with salty and fragrant Dochi, on top of a bowl of hot and warm rice, this is the blissfulness of traditional family recipe!

Preparation:
This soup is for 3 people. First, soaking the beans in clean water for 30 minutes, this is to make sure the beans become soft. Measure total water of 1500 ml and add in all the herbs (except Zi Su Ye) bring to a boil, turn to low heat and cook for 35 minutes, add in Zi Su Ye, cook for another 5 minutes and ready to serve.

Intake and dosage :
7-17 years old take 150-200 ml daily, 18 years old and above take 200-300 ml daily, take the soup in warm, 1 hour after meal. It can be taken 3 days a week for the one whole month, or once every 2-3 days.

The simple one will do
If you can't get all the Chinese herbs in your countries, just keep it simple by using soybean and black beans. The easiest way is to create a sweet dessert soup by soaking both beans (30g soy beans and 30g black beans per person) in clean water for 30 minutes, add 600ml bring to boil, turn to low heat and cook for 40 minutes, add some sugar or honey and prepare to serve, eat the bean and drink the soup.

How about mixing soy beans and black bean together for a hot drink?

Since we are using 2 beans only, why not invest in a soy milk maker? It will save you a lot of time, just press 1 or 2 buttons and after 30 mins, you can enjoy a hot soy drink in a very relaxing way.

Those are example on how a Soy milk maker look like. I didn't receive any advertisement fee from any brands of soy milk makers. The image here just for your reference, if you intend to buy one, make sure you compare the price and get to know the reviews before buying.
Survey the price, durability, difficulty of operating and effectiveness of a soy milk maker before buying. You should also know how many portions it can make at one time and consider how many persons will consume the soy milk etc. Soy milk maker can use for making all kind of multi-grain beverages or porridge that are good for the elderly and children who have difficulty to chew foods. As for busy working adults, drinking multi-grains hot beverage or bean milk help to boost immunity and also improve skin health.

But remember not to throw away the bean dregs, you can use it for cooking soup stock or bone broth. I personally use the bean dregs to scrub and exfoliate my face and whole body during bath, you will notice your skin become silky smooth and well moisturized.

Bean dregs can be used for making delicious steam bun.
Stir fried bean dregs with eggs, spring onion, season with soy sauce, sugar, salt and pepper will be a very delicious Chinese dishes in Beijing, China

The bean dregs also can be used for baking cookies, feeding your pets by mixing it with dog food or turning it into a natural fertilizer for your plants in the garden.
