Many people have suffered from constipation. In this issue, we recommend a food pair that can relieve constipation—wood ear mushrooms and cabbage.
Stir-fried Cabbage with Wood Ear Mushrooms
Black wood ear mushrooms are not only well-known as "blood vessel scavengers" but also "intestinal scavengers," with their rich dietary fiber promoting gastrointestinal motility. Cabbage has effects such as 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 their textures and flavors complement each other, and their laxative effects also enhance each other. The method for making wood ear mushroom and cabbage soup is very simple: soak the black wood ear mushrooms in water, cut the cabbage leaves into sections, put them in a pot together with seasonings, and cook until done.
