Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Notes

Ingredients:
  • 4-6 Morels
  • 1 Chinese Yam
  • Lean Pork (or Pork Bones), as needed
  • 3 Figs
  • A small handful of Lotus Seeds
  • 4-5 slices of Ginger
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1-2 Red Dates
  • A small handful of Goji Berries
Instructions:
  1. Prepare the ingredients. Peel the Chinese yam (use gloves to avoid itching). You can use lean pork, ribs, or a combination of both.
  2. Place the pork in cold water with a few slices of ginger, bring to a boil to remove impurities, then rinse the meat clean.
  3. Clean the morels thoroughly and soak them briefly; use the soaking water in the soup for extra flavor.
  4. Put all the ingredients, including the morels, Chinese yam, pork, figs, lotus seeds, and red dates (pitted), into a stew pot. Add water.
  5. Cook using the soup setting if using a stew pot. Alternatively, bring to a boil in a soup pot and then simmer for 30 minutes to an hour. Be careful not to overcook, as the Chinese yam can become too soft.
  6. Before serving, add a small amount of goji berries and season with salt to taste.
