The fast-paced urban life has caused many office workers to have stomach problems of varying degrees. Stomach disease is not a trivial matter. When it hurts, you can't drink water, let alone eating. It is really uncomfortable, I have a deep understanding of it. Take medicine for at least seven days each time to temporarily stop the pain. Always take the medicine like this, it will also cause a burden on the liver's detoxification.
Stomach disease, in fact, there is only one word that is "nourishing". Nourish the stomach and nourish the stomach, the stomach is raised by usual. Regular work and rest time, good eating habits, coupled with irregular diet. It will make your stomach obey. Eat well.
The soup we made today is a soup for nourishing the stomach. There is often a saying in the folks that "what you eat to replenish what you eat". Therefore, we use pork belly as the main ingredient and add hericium edodes. The "Hericaceae" says: "Pork belly is an essential product for invigorating the spleen. If the spleen and stomach are tonic, the qi is beneficial. It can be seen that pork belly is a good food for the spleen and stomach. Hericium erinaceus is flat and sweet, beneficial to the five internal organs and helps Digestion, nourishing the body, etc. Modern medicine has successively proved that Hericium erinaceus has good medicinal value. Clinical applications have shown that Hericium erinaceus can treat dyspepsia, gastric ulcer, gastritis, stomach pain, bloating and neurasthenia.
After washing the pork belly, put it in the pot and add the appropriate amount of lotus seeds together with the Hericium erinaceus. Simmer for half an hour on high heat and simmer for one and a half hours. Finally, cut open the pork belly. The soup is milky and milky. Especially fresh and sweet. Just add the right amount of salt. This is a soup that nourishes the stomach. It is stewed once in about half a month for diet therapy and eaten like this for a long time. You will find that the stomach problems will no longer occur. The appetite has also improved, and the complexion has also improved. Definitely personally experienced.

Hericium and Pork Belly Soup

1. Soak the lotus seeds in advance. If they are cored, use a toothpick to remove the lotus cores, otherwise the stewed soup will be bitter. The lotus core reduces the fire, and this soup is to nourish the stomach, so it is not allowed to bring the lotus core. I choose the Hericium erinaceus without washing and foaming, which is more convenient

2. Let's clean the pork belly first, the pork belly just bought is covered with mucus. First rinse off the debris on both sides with running water, then pour some white vinegar and rub it, then wash it off. Add flour and continue scrubbing. Flush. The pork belly is very refreshing after two passes.

3. Boil a pot of hot water and put a plate into the pork belly. Support the pork belly. Blanch for about 3 minutes. The set of plates is to prevent the pork belly from receding severely during blanching.

4. After blanching the pork belly, use a knife to scrape the dead skin and dead calluses and fat on both sides. Continue to rinse off with warm water. The soup produced in this way will not be greasy.

5. Stuff the Hericium erinaceus into the pork belly. Put it in a saucepan and add enough hot water. A small piece of ginger. Bring to a boil and cook for about half an hour. Turn to low heat and cook slowly. The total duration is about 2 hours.

6. This is when the soup is simmered for about 1 and a half hours, the soup has turned white.

7. Take out the pork belly and cut it into strips with a knife or kitchen scissors. Put it in the saucepan and continue to simmer.

8. At the same time, pour the washed lotus seeds together. Continue to cook for about half an hour. Finally, add the right amount of salt according to your personal taste. You can also add some if you like pepper. This soup is very delicious, no need to add chicken

Tips:
Wash the pork belly a little bit so that the soup will not be fishy. Stew the whole pork belly and cut it into pieces at the end to prevent the stewed pork belly from curling and becoming hard. The taste is more tender and smooth.
