Durian core crucian carp soup

5-6 durian cores, 2 crucian carps, and 3 slices of ginger. Wash the durian core, clean the carp after slaughtering it, and fry it over low heat until both sides turn slightly yellow. Then put them together with ginger into a clay pot, add appropriate amount of water, boil over high heat and then simmer over low heat for 2 hours, then add appropriate amount of salt and a little cooking oil. This soup is refreshing and not greasy. It has the effects of strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness, harmonizing the stomach and stimulating appetite, promoting blood circulation and unblocking meridians, and warming the middle and lowering qi.

Food taboos

Cantonese people say: "One durian, three chickens". Both the "Cihai" and "Compendium of Materia Medica" say that this is not an exaggeration at all. The pulp contains extremely high levels of sugar, protein, starch, fat, vitamins A, B, C, calcium, potassium, etc., which can enhance human immunity and inhibit cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that eating durian regularly can strengthen the body, invigorate the spleen and replenish qi, and nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang.

Durian is hot in nature and can promote blood circulation and dispel cold, relieve menstrual pain, and improve abdominal coldness. It is an ideal tonic for people with cold constitution. But don't eat too much at one time, because because of its rich nutrition, it will cause sore throat if the stomach and intestines cannot fully absorb it. Eating it may even cause sudden death in people with certain diseases. Thailand's Ministry of Health advises the public not to eat more than two durian cloves a day.

If you accidentally eat too much durian and cause internal heat and phlegm, difficulty breathing, flushed face, and bloating, you should immediately eat a few mangosteens to neutralize the problem, because mangosteen is a very cold food and can restrain the heat of durian. Only the Queen of Fruits can conquer the King of Fruits. You can also boil durian peel and salt water.
