Appetite-Boosting and Spleen-Invigorating Fish Soup with Mature Cucumber and Coriander
Recommended by the Clinical Nutrition Department of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Main Benefits: Appetite enhancement and spleen nourishment.
Recommended for: Individuals who sweat excessively in the summer and those with poor appetite.
Ingredients: 500g mature cucumber, 1 grass carp (or another freshwater fish of your choice), a suitable amount of fresh ginger, and coriander.
Instructions: Wash the mature cucumber, remove the seeds, and cut it into chunks (keep the skin). Clean the grass carp, pat it dry, and sear it lightly in a pan along with fresh ginger. Then, place the seared fish and mature cucumber into a pot, add 1000ml of water, and bring it to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes. Just before serving, add chopped coriander and season with salt to taste.
Soup Review: Cucumbers contain glutamic acid, arginine, and glutamine, which can help prevent alcohol poisoning and have an auxiliary therapeutic effect on liver disease patients. Additionally, succinic acid in cucumbers can inhibit the conversion of carbohydrates into fat, slowing down fat accumulation in the body, making cucumbers a recommended food for weight loss. Mature cucumbers, compared to fresh cucumbers, have six times more iron and zinc, and significantly higher potassium content. This makes them especially suitable for people who sweat a lot in the summer and have a poor appetite. Coriander, with its warm and pungent taste, can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and stimulate appetite. Fish meat belongs to easily digestible, low-fat, high-quality protein. This soup is particularly suitable for the elderly and children who have a decreased appetite and poor digestive function during the hot summer.
