Gastrodia stewed fish head

Overview

For the past few days, I have been staying at home, turning on the air conditioner, checking my cell phone, and drinking cold drinks. As a result, I got a headache😖. According to traditional Chinese medicine, it is head wind. Because the head is lowered for a long time without movement, the cervical spine is exposed to the air-conditioning, blood circulation is not good, and the headache is caused by cold. Hurry up and buy a big fish head and cook Gastrodia elata to get rid of the wind.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare the ingredients, except southern dates and longan, soak all others for half an hour.

   

2. 2 Flatten the ginger with a knife and boil it with 2 liters of cold water. Rinse the soaked medicinal materials, including jujube and longan, and continue to simmer in boiling water.

   

3. 3 Wash and drain the big fish head (big fish head has this thing inside, we Cantonese call it Yuyun), fry it in oil (just roll it and fry it, don't split it, the brains and stuff inside are the good stuff), when it's browned, put it into the medicinal soup and cook it on medium heat for an hour and a half. For the last ten minutes, add a little salt to taste and turn up the heat. Turn off the heat after ten minutes.

   

4. 4 After cooking, scoop it up and drink it while it's hot (because after cooking for an hour and a half, the fish head has rotted away, and you can only see the dregs... haha). This soup is very fragrant, rich and sweet. Drink it while it's hot. Don't let the air conditioner hit you for a while. Once you break out in a sweat, your body will feel comfortable immediately.
