Many people suffer from constipation. In this issue, we recommend a food pair that can relieve constipation—black fungus and cabbage.
Stir-fried Cabbage with Black Fungus
Black fungus is not only a well-known "blood vessel scavenger" but also an "intestinal scavenger". Its rich dietary fiber promotes gastrointestinal motility. Cabbage has the effects of nourishing the stomach, promoting body fluids, relieving vexation and thirst, and promoting urination and bowel movements. Therefore, the combination of the two not only has a distinct black and white color but also complements each other in texture and taste, and their laxative effects are mutually reinforcing. The method for making black fungus and cabbage soup is very simple: soak the black fungus in water, cut the cabbage leaves into sections, put them in a pot with seasonings, and cook until done.
