Passed by the market and there came a very nice fragrance of this green green grass. Time for a green bean sweet and it's good to clear up those accumulated hot wet from eating too much in the winter time.
1. At a portion of 3-4 litre of green bean sweet, use only 2 branches of it, leaving the rest as a room fragrance if you like it. Too much of this would be a bit too bitter. 2. Cooking this one is not like cooking red bean sweet. Use only 1/2 portion or not more than 3/5 of the red bean portion for the same amount of water. Green bean can be quite swelling; so it had better not be too much. Put one soup spoon of rice to make it in more texture. I would put the fragrant grass together with the beans when the water is boiling, but leave a small amount of younger leaves (maybe 1/10th). Boil for 1.5 hour something to 2 hours. Then put the younger leaves and boil for 10 minutes and put cane bar sugar to sweet. This way the fragrance would be at more levels - a bit subtly burnt and a bit fresh.

Yum Yum.
Green bean soup dessert is good to clear up the body's heat.
This is a popular "after dinner" complimentary dessert here at Chinese Restaurants. Usually they add the sea weed(Hoi Dye) too.
Yes, some put seaweed in it, but I prefer the fragrant grass to seaweed, and it's also recommended by my aunt and grand aunt. They often prefer not eating those living around stones. They said those around stones have some "wet" elements which is not easy to be detoxified out of the body.
Your aunts are correct. That is what I was told too.
All plants/creatures live around the stones are "wet poison" in a way.
And the reason is self explanatory.
This is why some people add the "E Mike" into this dessert soup to get rid of the "wet poison".
E Mike is also good to cure itchy skin or skin allergy.
My aunts/grand mom. dumb those PP prawns, mussels and even scallops. They said those are not good for body. Even for shrimps, they would choose "red rice" 赤米 - those with some tiny white spots on the body and not too big and not too small. Those "red rice" shrimp can't be farm raised. Also, they live in some refined water area. Then re fish, they don't even eat garoupa. They eat fish at a palm size and not heavier than 1 catty. They don't eat crab or lobster as those are also "hot wet". It does make sense, considering those seafood would have more unnecessary minerals from their living environment. Those unnecessary minerals caused "hot wet" in the body.
