Three-Red Soup, a nourishing Chinese herbal remedy, gets its name from three key red ingredients: red dates, red beans, and goji berries. Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, it’s believed to boost energy, improve complexion, and support overall wellness. Here’s a basic recipe to prepare this wholesome soup at home.
Ingredients:
- 15 red dates (pitted),
- 50g red beans (soaked for 2 hours),
- 1 handful goji berries,
- 3 slices of ginger (optional, for warmth),
- Rock sugar or honey to taste.
Steps:
1. Prep: Rinse red beans and red dates. Soak red beans until slightly softened (skip if using canned).
2. Cook: In a pot, add red beans, red dates, ginger, and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 1.5–2 hours until beans are tender.
3. Finish: Rinse goji berries and add them in the last 10 minutes of cooking (to retain nutrients). Stir in rock sugar until dissolved.
4. Serve: Enjoy warm, either plain or with a drizzle of honey.
Tips: For a richer flavor, add a few red onion skins while cooking. Avoid overcooking goji berries to prevent bitterness. This soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days, making it a convenient healthy snack.
Simple yet nutritious, Three-Red Soup is a perfect blend of taste and wellness, ideal for year-round consumption.
