Today, I want to introduce a good health food ingredient, Perilla leaf. It is called the pure Yang grass by the Chinese because it can enhance the body’s Yang. Perilla leaf is warm in nature and spicy in taste. It belongs to the spleen and lung meridians. It can dispel cold and relieve symptoms, relieve cough and resolve phlegm, soothe the stomach and stop vomiting, and regulate Qi and stabilize pregnancy. I like the taste of Perilla leaf very much. It has a special aroma.
I made two recipes with perilla as ingredient. One is to boil water with perilla leaves and tangerine peel. It can strengthen the spleen and digestion, relieve cough and reduce phlegm, and dispel wind and cold.
The other recipe is scrambled eggs with perilla leaves. Eating this dish in the summer can help ward off cold and dampness in the body.
It is very simple to make perilla and tangerine peel water. Use 20 grams of perilla leaves, wash them, and two pieces of tangerine peel, put them in 1 liter of water, bring to a boil first, then simmer for 3 minutes over low heat, and turn off the heat. Drink warm.
How to make scrambled eggs with perilla leaves?
Prepare 100 grams of perilla leaves, washed, chop them, crack in 3 eggs, add 1/2 tablespoon of salt, and combine evenly with your hands. Pour 2 tablespoons of oil into the pot, heat over medium heat, pour in the perilla egg liquid, and then stir-fry until cooked. This dish can be paired with porridge or staple food, it is very delicious.
