Fennel and Egg Pancake
From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine, fennel has a pungent taste and a warm nature, and it affects the liver, kidney, spleen, and stomach meridians. It has the effect of warming the liver and kidneys and strengthening stomach qi. Fennel can stimulate the nerves and blood vessels of the gastrointestinal tract, promote the secretion of digestive fluids, increase gastrointestinal motility, and expel accumulated gas, thus it has the effects of strengthening the stomach and promoting qi circulation. It is especially suitable for people with a cold spleen and stomach to supplement yang. Furthermore, the anethole in fennel has antibacterial properties and is very effective in inhibiting *Escherichia coli* and *Shigella*, preventing various types of infectious diarrhea and promoting the recovery from inflammation and ulcers.
The tender stems and leaves of fennel, as a vegetable, have a rich aroma. In addition to being used as a filling with some meat, they can also be stir-fried with eggs, making them particularly suitable for people with a slightly cold stomach.
