Lok Mei Soup

Lok Mei Soup

Since I was a kid, my mother occasionally cooked this soup.

This soup is sweet and nourishing.

It is called "Lok Mei Soup" because it has 6 types of herbs.

Just go to the Chinese Medicine Shop and tell them that

you wanted to buy one packet or more of "Lok Mei" ingredients.

6 types of herbs.

Wash and drain.

1/2 chicken or kampung chicken.

Some pork ribs (tell the butcher that it is to boil soup).

Wash and drain.

Pour all the Lok Mei ingredients and meat into a pot.

Then pour water to 3/4 of the pot.

Boil with high fire.

Around 30 to 45 minutes, you will notice a lot

of bubble surface, lower down the fire and then scoop out

all the bubble with a sieve.

After that, boil again with medium fire for another 2 hours.

Look like this after 3 hours.

Turn off the fire and then sprinkle some salt.

Once ready, pour into soup bowl and serve with hot rice

and other dishes.

Happy Cooking and Drinking.
