I used to double boil for my DD. Put around 3 pieces with 3 to 4 pieces of lean meat and boil for 90mins in the smallest slow cooker. maybe about 1 to 2 bowl of water. She takes it with rice.Double boil ha? How long ha? Just put water, cordeceps (few strings?) and meat?
Too expensive, that's why cannot experiment! Haha... -

The lady at the medicine shop says to boil 7-8 pieces of cordyceps with 1.5 bowl of water. A small amount of pork will do eg 200-300 grams... If you want o add Pao Shen, then add 8 pieces of it. According to the lady, the above quantity is recommended for 1 person...Double boil ha? How long ha? Just put water, cordeceps (few strings?) and meat?

I also store in the freezer only.Freezer is the right place to store Chinese herbs, even beyond its expiry date.
Someone told my mil to consumer all e herbs, esp. cordyceps n ginseng. We would normally boil e 2nd time then eat all e herbs. Never get to waste since it's so expensive.
I let my dd consume the whole part as well but only double-boil once as I want maximum effect for her. The whole bowl must be empty after she finishes except for the meat, sometimes she is not keen, I will eat them.

There’s another type of cultured cordyceps, much cheaper, it is cordyceps militaris (cultured without the insect, only use the spores). Taste wise ok. Only $15, not sure if it’s nutrient can match those grown fm the insect, but for soup, I think it’s ok.

Wow, so expensive now? where did you buy yours from? -
From shanghai...these are big ones, with little grass, not those small small ones with long grass...
That's why I need to know if 7-8 pcs used by happy mama are big ones or small ones...
Coz if small pcs, that I can divide the quantity by half mah... -

Oops sorry I missed that question of yours. My cordyceps are the normal small ones you find from the Chinese medical halls.... Wow yours must be really huge! But I'm sure the quality's really good too...From shanghai...these are big ones, with little grass, not those small small ones with long grass...
