One patient was a Chinese American. When he went to the hospital for a review, the American doctor found that his blood viscosity had decreased and asked, "What did you do? Did you take too much medicine?" He said, "I definitely didn't take too much medicine. "Strange! So have you eaten anything lately?" He said, "I went to Chinatown the day before yesterday and had a Chinese meal with clams, winter melon, and goji berries." The American doctor thought, clams were useless. , Wolfberry does not correspond, I am afraid that the big thing that you Chinese love to eat is working, if you don’t believe it, go and try it again.

Winter Melon and Clam Soup

1. Keep the clams in water with sea salt for several hours to remove the sand. Rinse the clams well before eating. Brush the surface of the shells with a toothbrush and drain the water;

3. Bring the water to a boil, add green onion, ginger, cooking wine, and clams in the pot after the water is boiled;

4. Place the clams in a bowl after opening;

5. Put clear water in the pot, boil, add wolfberry and winter melon;

8. Turn off the heat, drizzle a little sesame oil, sprinkle with chopped green onion, and it will be out of the pot;

9. The delicious winter melon clam soup is complete;

Tips:
1. After buying clams, soak them in light salt water first to make them spit sand to prevent dental fouling (you can pour a little oil in the water to help spit sand);
2. After the clams are blanched, try to keep the bottom when pouring out the clams to prevent mixing with sand;
3. Add an appropriate amount of white pepper powder to the clam meat to remove the fishy smell. Add flour to make a paste, so that the taste will not be burnt;
4. The clam soup has a very rich flavor, if you don't like it, you can dilute it with water;
5. Pour the egg drop into the pot, don't stir it in a hurry, turn off the heat and simmer slightly;
