It is one of my fav dish from taiwan. I searched from the website and bought the ingredient from the yu yan shen and the zheng zhong ping around my house there. i must now introduce to all women this herb. dang1 gui1 (chinese angelica root) is a chinese medicine herb that helps to revitalise your blood and help the flow of your blood. it helps to smoothen your menstral cycle and ease the pain. The herb itself has a characteristic smell and if you leave it unclosed or expose in t your fridge the whole ridge will smell of dang gui. same effect as durian. The herb itself is warm and sweet, therefore those who are heaty or heaty in nature please do not try this herb related food or medicine. In many of the ancinet chinese herb text it is believed that it is meant for people who are weak (虚) eg. after pregnancy when a pregnant women lost extensive amount of blood, fluid and energy.
put all the ingrdient includes 当归~15g 川芎~7.5g 枸杞~12g 黄芪~15g 桂枝7.5g one duck and some rice wine or cooking wine. the whole soup will be full of the fragrance of the dang gui. it need not be exact but the proportion be that is okay. i myslef also dont weigh it on a scale or balance or whatever thing you think of the ancient ppl will do to get the exact amount. cooking is simple. chop up the duck and boiled it once. pour away theblood water and fats. if you are scared of too much oil as ducks do have. remove selectively of the duck skin or refrain from using neck areas. alternatively boil a second time to removeand remove the water again. finally put all the herbs into a cloth bag or sth and cook together. boil for 45 min and small fire for 2-3 hrs. the longer the better.
