After a busy week, I was quite exhausted and Song Kee Soup is just right soup to cook up. It is a chinese herbal soup for good health. If you are feeling tired and lack of energy this soup will bring you back to your feet. It consists of a tong sum ( a type of root that looks like dried sticks) sometimes called the poor man's gingseng.,..pak kei,..yuk chook...wai san,..kei chi,.. and dried red or black dates.
Tong Sum.........
Wai San.........good for the stomach....
Kei Chee or Boxthorn fruit .....good for eyesight.....
Dried red and black dates..........(remove seed before cooking)....
Yuk Chook..........................
I boiled the above herbs together with half a chicken cut into bite size pieces for 2 to 3 hours. I used 3 bowls of water. It can be taken with rice or drink on its own. We can buy all the herbs from a chinese medical shop or from the supermarket in packet form with all the combine herbs.
