Guest guest Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Mung beans and Gou Qi Zi fruit are beneficial to the liver, taste good, and are nutritious. They would make a nice congee. - Bill Chinese Medicine , Steve Edwards <sedwards16 wrote: > > Melissa, > > Bob Flaw's book " The Book of Jook " has several congee recipes for: > > Cirrhosis- > Compound Peach Seed Congee > Citron, Buddha's Hand & Radish seed Congee > Red Peony, Peach Seed, Cinnamon & Poria Congee > > Superficial Edema, Asciites > Black Bean Congee > Compound Aduki Bean Congee > Pork Liver & Mung Bean Congee > Imperata Cylindrica & Rice Congee > Areca Seed Congee > Duck Meat & Rice Congee > Corn, Dolichos & Jujube Congee > White Poria Congee > Coix Congee > ......and several more > > ISBN 0936185600 > > Hope that helps, > > Steve > > > petrabuchanan wrote: > > > Dear Melissa, I would research a book by Barbara Humphry about congees > > otherwise call her at 970-901-9871.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I would agree and would add two notes to Bill's suggestions: 1. If available, try using mung bean sprouts, as they are delicious and loaded with nutritious enzymes (here in LA they are available in all the health food stores). As far as Gou Qi Zi, I have seen a dramatic difference in quality on what is generally sold in Chinatown and the organic (though pricey) Gou Qi Zi sold in health food stores. BTW, does anyone know of a quality and reasonably priced source of Gou Qi Zi?

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 If you want to use the sprouts, sprinkle them on top of the congee when you serve it. Otherwise, the enzymes will be destroyed by the cooking and they will be mushy. - Bill Chinese Medicine , yehuda frischman < wrote: > > I would agree and would add two notes to Bill's suggestions: 1.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 The company I buy from " Kowalke Family Sprouts " sells them as Sprouted beans with the sprouts as appendages to the beans and the beans crunchy and intact. We actually use them in a congee-like dish called Cholent and they remain firm crunchy and tasty!

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Not at all, because they are just barely sprouted, the beans keep their integrity and are actually actually a bit crunchy! <zrosenbe wrote: They don't get overcooked in cholent?

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Dear Melissa, A little background first on cholent (hope, again that I am not overstepping the boundaries of the group-if so, I apologize). Cholent is a food that is made in a slow cooker. We start it Friday afternoon, and it is served for lunch on Saturday. The best cholent, in a similar way to say,fine wine, cheese or Chen Pi, improves with cooking. The way we make cholent is quite different than is customary. (a typical recipe would contain Meat or chicken, potatoes, a cup of assorted dried beans, one large onion, 1/2 cup barley, ketchup, herbs, spices and lots of water). Our cholent consists of all organic ingredients: yams, zucchini, baby potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, garlic, basmati rice, kasha (buckwheat) chicken, sprouted mung beans, plum vinegar and lots of aromatic herbs, and spices, along with, of course, lots of water. The idea is for it to start like soup, and become thick while slowwwly cooking overnight. Unlike the typical cholent, though, which people usually feel incredibly heavy from, ours is quite light, and IMVVVHO just might make the liver as well as the spleen and stomach smile. Enjoy, Yehuda Melissa Mello <lungta_ladybug wrote: do you have any cholent recipes you would share for liver disease?
