Although this is a soup with Chaoshan characteristics, my mother has never cooked it for us since she was a child. She knew it was only when the old mother bought it and boiled it every time she coughed after marriage.

This time I also coughed for a long time, so I tried to stew it a few times by myself. I don't know if it is because of the long coughing that I healed, or the reason for the soup. I don't know if it is suitable for hot cough or cold cough, but in the spring and autumn, even if I don't cough, I still feel comfortable in my throat.

Pig Lung Olive Soup-a Soup for Nourishing Lungs and Relieving Cough in Spring and Autumn

1. The lungs of the pigs I bought were not good, and there was a lot of blood stasis, so more than half of them were cut off.

It's best to pick pig lungs with a matte color. We can't buy them. The pork boss said that because pigs are killed quickly now, they don't bleed slowly, so there will be a lot of blood stasis.

It is better to buy whole pig lungs, but too much can not be used up.

It’s not difficult to wash half of it. Turn on the faucet and fill it with water from the lung tube. There will be a lot of dirty things coming out. Then fill it with water again to make it swell and soak it in the basin for half an hour. Until it turns white, it’s okay to bring a little pink.

2. This is to treat clean pig lungs, there is no fishy smell anymore. Cut into thick slices, add three slices of ginger, boil in cold water and rinse with clean water ^o^ Actually, the cleaned pig lungs will not foam after being boiled. You can do it without washing.

3. The pork meat is also blanched, the green olives are cut in half, all the ingredients are put into the stew pot, and two and a half bowls of water are added.

4. The olives who were cut open to be put into the pot have a scared expression😱

5. Simmer for two and a half hours, and add some salt at the end.

6. In fact, I didn’t know until later that there is no need to use pig lungs, but pig throats are also called fear lungs. It also has the same effect. You can buy it for five yuan each and rinse it after the water. There is no need to wash pig lungs so troublesome 😭

So what is working is pig lung? Pig throat? Or green olives?
