What ingredients should be put in coconut bone stew

Coconut can not only be eaten directly, but also used in cooking. Coconut can be used to make chicken soup or bone soup. Add some wolfberries and red dates according to your taste. Coconut is a tropical fruit, generally found in tropical coastal areas. Coconut can basically be eaten at any time, there are no major taboos. Coconut can also be eaten with some throat-soothing foods to achieve the effect of clearing and quenching thirst.

Coconut has a unique aroma, the coconut milk is sweet, and the coconut meat is fragrant. Coconut is also delicious when used in cooking. Coconut baked chicken, coconut milk Dongshan lamb, and crispy fried coconut milk are Hainan specialties.

Chicken soup in coconut pot is a classic soup that is not only delicious but also nourishing and beautifying.

Coconut can replenish the body, invigorate qi and dispel wind. What's even better is that it is mild in nature. It has different effects when paired with different ingredients according to the health rules of each season. It is really suitable for drinking at any time.

Several refreshing and nourishing coconut soup recipes:

1) Coconut lemongrass chicken soup recipe:

1. Add a piece of galangal (don't use old ginger) to half an old hen and cook the soup. Peel an old coconut, pour out the coconut water and blend them in a food processor. The result is white coconut juice.

2. Wrap it in a fish bag and squeeze out the juice. (This step is very simple. Because coconut oil is high, it is easy to squeeze out).

3. Heat the coconut juice until it is almost boiling and add it to the chicken soup that has been cooking for 40 minutes (do not add cold water while cooking the soup. Similarly, heat the coconut juice before pouring it in).

4. Add the chopped lemongrass stems, straw mushrooms/lemon leaves/sour water (without sour plum juice or white vinegar) and cook for another 15 minutes.

5. Add fish sauce/sugar to taste, then add three tablespoons of lemon juice and turn off the heat.

If you don't want to drink sour soup, just add lemongrass and coconut juice and season with salt to make a very delicious coconut chicken soup.

If you add sour, it will become an exotic soup. You can choose between the two flavors. Since I didn't buy lemon leaves here, I used lemon slices. Both galangal and lemongrass have special aromas. Generally, they cannot be replaced by other things. The soup looks very oily. It's not just chicken fat. There is a lot of oil in coconut milk.

You must choose old coconuts to squeeze out the juice to make it taste good. If you are interested, you can put the filtered residue in a baking tray. Set the oven to 130-150 degrees Celsius to let it dry slowly. Then you will get coconut flakes. However, the baking time is relatively long. Do not use strong fire, or it will change color. Coconut flakes are already devoid of nutritional value.

2) Watercress and Coconut Soup

Ingredients: 500g watercress, 1 young coconut, 30g sea coconut, 20g each of Adenophora sibiricum and Polygonatum odoratum, 2 candied dates, and appropriate amount of water.

Preparation: Wash all ingredients, take the water from the coconut and keep the flesh, pour the water into a clay pot, add coconut milk, coconut flesh, sea coconut, adenophora, polygonatum and candied dates, add watercress after boiling, simmer for one and a half hours, and then you can drink it, it is refreshing and reduces internal heat.

Tip: The fiber in coconut meat has the effect of slimming. It is difficult to get coconut milk and coconut meat from a whole coconut at home. When purchasing a coconut, ask the seller to cut it open and help you take out the coconut water and fresh coconut meat. This is convenient and saves effort.

Operation time: 110 minutes: soak in water for 15 minutes → wash for 2 minutes → blanch for 1 minute → cook for 90 minutes → season for 1 minute → serve in a bowl for 1 minute
