Hot Summer Recipe: Authentic Chinese Recipe of Summer veggie Bottle Gourd, Shitake and Chicken Soup
Chicken soup doesn’t need to take hours to make.
This is a simple, light chicken soup that is richly flavored with shiitake mushrooms, and brightened with fresh ginger and soy sauce.
The stock is very light, and comes just from the cooking of the ingredients for less than half an hour. The combination of the ginger, chicken, mushrooms, soy sauce and Summer veggie Bottle Gourd is just lovely, and I highly recommend trying this soup.
During hot weather, your blood pressure often tends to drop. Lauki regulates your blood pressure, preventing the risks of a sudden drop. Lauki is incredibly hydrating and cooling, and hence, is an ideal summer vegetable. Lauki replenishes the electrolytes that are lost while sweating in the heat. Additionally, antioxidants present in the bottle gourd protects our hair and the scalp from the oxidative damage caused by the free radicals, improves blood circulation in the scalp and promotes hair growth. It is also effective for making our hair strong and lustrous. Wrinkle-free skin. With powerhouse nutrients such as vitamin C and zinc, bottle gourd helps in tackling premature ageing. The juice helps slow down cell ageing and prevents wrinkles from appearing on the face. You can have the lauki cooked or in the juice form for consumption.
