Any recipes for post surgery tonic soup? I was told by tcm avoid chicken eggs and peanuts post surgery but then why chicken essence is ok.

It depends on what surgery and there are many different ways to do soup. Chinese adv is post surgery use fish. You can buy fish slices or cod fish fr the mkt which you can stir fry with ginger & put in some wolfberry. For soup, can fry the bones before putting in the soup to prepare yr rich stock & if u’re putting in herbs like huai san, dangshen & red dates or black dates together, yr soup will be rich but put in wolfberry only 15 min before dishing out coz it’ll disintegrate if cooked too long in the stock. Some post survey recipes are 人参 with wolfberry & red dates put into slow cooker with fish (marinate lightly with salt & hua tiow jiu) put in last 20 min. Can cook snakehead fish with Chinese herbs.

According to my TCM doctor, Chicken is heaty (热) and she asked me not to take so much Chicken otherwise my skin problem would come back again. For post surgery, my mother always prepares snakehead fish soup (生鱼汤）for wound healing.

Went to SS today didn't see fresh chicken. Guess wet mkt will have better chance.

Cooked braised pork.

I don't bother the fresh chicken, now having hot pot buffet dinner with my friends at Liang Seah Street, Bugis.... :imcool:

Yes, tcm advice so as apparently eating these food will grow “pus”.. I’m not sure if it’s true but that’s was what I was told. There’s fish essence, it doesn’t taste as good as the chicken and is a lil fishy. As long as it works.

Chicken eggs I don’t know…but chicken after surgery is ok to me. After Caesarean, I consumed chicken everyday for almost 2 mths. No issue with wound recovery.

Not easy to replicate what I tasted in the Peranakan restaurant we visited & I can’t find the recipe. I’ve replicated it 1st time but I overlooked the lime & used half a lemon. I’m quite hard on myself I guess. Doesn’t taste the same. I thot my garden still hv lime growing on it but we used faster than they grow. I must propagate ano pot.

My family find it too spicy coz I took the wrong chilli. As my chilli turns red on my plant, I just harvest & forgot to check the variety I picked fr the lot I kept in the fridge. Will make again tmr & surely get the lime & be light on cutting the chilli (the right one).

It’s nice with light brown sugar & vinegar. Overall, hubby says appetizing. Comforting hor.
