Tangerine peel

Tangerine peel

Overview

It is still my childhood wish, I have always wanted to open a herbal medicine shop, and I also read a few basic Chinese medicine books in my free time. Fortunately, I am pretty good at Chinese, especially classical Chinese. Speaking of this tangerine peel, it is also called orange-red, but it is a good thing. First of all, this kind of citrus is very fragrant (the famous 4711 perfume has more citrus ingredients). As a traditional Chinese medicine, it is warm in nature, so it can be added to it when stewing meat. More importantly, when stewing meat, it can relieve greasiness and make the meat tender. It is a rare good thing ~ tangerine peel, especially the white orange veins in it, can relieve cough and reduce phlegm, so it is most suitable in autumn and winter~ However, whether I buy it in a drugstore or a seasoning shop, it is sun-dried tangerine peel. Generally, I call this product green peel. The older the tangerine peel, the better. At least it must be made from dried tangerine peel. Nowadays, the process of processing is to wash and cut everything and then dry it, so the taste is relatively bland and soaked in water. So today I will teach you a very simple method of processing traditional Chinese medicine ~ the made tangerine peel is many times more fragrant!

  3. Then comes the steaming process. Boil water in the pot, put the orange peel on it and steam it over high heat. I don’t have a steamer, so I used a simple rice cooker instead (orz... it’s also quite expensive)
