Seaweed Fish Head Soup
Cantonese people have the habit of drinking soup before meals. Scientific research shows that "drinking soup before meals is better than a prescription." Before eating, drinking a few mouthfuls of soup is equivalent to adding a "lubricant" to the digestive tract, so that the food can be swallowed smoothly and preventing dry and hard food from stimulating the mucosa of the digestive tract, thereby benefiting the digestion and absorption of food by the gastrointestinal tract.
Friends from other places say that there are all kinds of soup at home every day. It feels so good! In fact, it is not difficult to have soup every day, but it does not mean that you need to spend a lot of time making soup every day. In fact, living in the city, most people don't have so much time to stew Laohuo soup, and neither does my family, so there are gradually more and more simple and quick nutritious soups. Today, I would like to recommend a seaweed fish head soup to everyone. Have you eaten it? It is an urban express nutritious soup with delicious taste and excellent nutrition.
In the market in my hometown, there are always fish heads that are cut out and sold separately. As long as you want to eat a large grass carp, people will sell it to you. Not in Beijing, so I can only buy a large piece of grass carp back, cut out the head and tail to cook soup, fish body for other purposes, one fish two eat it, but today's theme is fish head soup, only promote the protagonist, supporting role will not be introduced temporarily

  • Seaweed Fish Head Soup Make Tips

    [Jingchu Friendly Tip]: Individuals with poor digestion or a constitutionally weak spleen should eat less seaweed, as it may cause diarrhea; those with abdominal pain or loose stools should not eat it. Patients with breast lobular hyperplasia and various tumors may consume it; however, those with a cold deficiency in the spleen and stomach must strictly avoid it. Before eating, soak the seaweed in clean water and change the water 1–2 times to remove pollutants and toxins. High-quality seaweed is purplish-red, dry, and free of sediment or impurities; otherwise, the quality is poor. If the seaweed turns blue-purple after soaking in cool water, it indicates contamination by toxic substances prior to drying and packaging; this seaweed is harmful to the human body and cannot be eaten. Being a seafood product, seaweed easily absorbs moisture and deteriorates; it should be placed in black food bags in a low-temperature, dry place, or stored in the refrigerator to maintain its flavor and nutrition.
