Steps for cooking Old Fire Soup – Monkey Head Mushroom Stomach-Nourishing Soup
Soak the dried monkey head mushroom in warm water until soft, squeeze out the yellow water, then soak in clean water for another 15 minutes, and repeat this process two or three times to remove the bitter taste. Tear the monkey head mushroom into small pieces and set aside.
Wash all the other ingredients, scrape off the hair on the Chinese yam, brush and wash the skin, and cut into small pieces. Cut the carrot into small cubes and the sweet corn into small pieces.
Put all the ingredients into a clay pot, add enough water, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for 100 minutes. Add sea salt to taste.
