today, i boiled 猪 肚 汤 with 白果 and pepper.

my family, esp hub, loves this soup very much. :love:

Oh, my DH's favourite too! Where to buy the stomach? Market also?

No...i seldom go to wet market,
bot it from sheng siong, giant and ntuc supermarket.
it's better to get from sheng siong becos the pig stomach is \"thicker\", 口感 is better.

i usually boil black chicken soup with chinese herbs (not pre-packed type, own combi).
my gal luv it with ginseng, be it \"black\" or \"white\" chicken

Black chicken with just ginseng will do?
I just came back from Hock Hwa and bought some herbs for soup. Also bought ginseng to boil soup. My DH and DD are going to be so happy with all the soup they are going to be drinking soon.

happy mama,
i will put in 淮山 (Huai Shan) dried one, and some wolfberries,
can also add some red dates, if u're not afraid of \"heaty\", taste is better.

i also get all my chinese herbs from hock hua too. :hi5:

Have never seen before leh.. but is it difficult to wash and cut the stomach? I remember my mum said you have to wash the stomach properly and I recall my neighbour washing it with newspaper (when i was a kid)... Strange to use newspaper, but they say it cleans the stomach very thoroughly.

so instead of water, you put rice in the soup and then boil like normal porridge is it? wow, must be very delicious! :drool:
