The preparation is a slow, patient process. The ingredients are simmered gently for 1 to 1.5hours, allowing the essence of the herbs to fully infuse into the broth / soup. The result is a deeply aromatic, savoury and subtly sweet.
The herbs are always simmered with a meat, commonly pork ribs or chicken, to create a nourishing broth.
【Non-Vegan Soup】– Pair with chicken / pork ribs / pork bones / lean pork (chunks) / meat bone for a rich and nourishing soup.
【Vegan Soup】 – meat-free soup – Pair with corn / shiitake mushroom / etc, for a light, naturally sweet vegan soup.

Tips :
· Always blanch the chicken/ribs in boiling water first to remove scum, ensuring a clear broth.
· Add the Goji berries only in the last 15 minutes to preserve their nutrients.
How to Blanch meat / bone
Blanching meat removes impurities like blood and protein scum, giving you a clearer, cleaner-tasting soup. Here’s how :
· Cut the chicken / pork ribs / lean pork (chunks) / meat bone, etc into pieces. Rinse and Blanch in a pot of cold water with ginger slices (optional). Then rinse clean and set aside.
