Posted a few days ago on my home made UFO. I went to the market for getting some winter melon (I guess it's imported from Thailand since it's not the season here) and a pack of the Chinese herbs for making this soup to clear up the accumulated unwanted elements in my body, especially eating some heavy seafood and meat or fruits/veggie, like mango, eggplant and pumpkin...etc.
1. the ingredients - top left is the lotus pouch that I played it as UFO, but this one is a bit pressed.
2. Winter melon. Normally I would get one Chinese catty (about 22 ounces or 0.625 kilo.). Rinse everything well. Put the ingredients except the melon and beans in a "soup boiling" bag. Then put that bag and winter melon in the pot when the water is cool. When it gets to boil, put the beans and barley (this way it can avoid the beans and barley getting sticky on the pot's bottom and therefore got burnt. Then boil it at low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours. Take out the bag. Put some cane sugar bar to taste. BTW, cane sugar bar is good for clearing up the toxic stuff in our body. If you suspect you have a slight food poisoning or having some skin allergy, drink some hot water with cane sugar bar melt in it.
3. Done. Eat the melon and beans too if possible. *remarks you would feel like having more water out of your body after taking this soup and that's normal.

coincidently i also made this herbal soup at home continuously for three weeks .. :-)
This "get-rid-of-wet" soup is good for both Mickey and SEA and all those in HK or BKK. But not good for LA people.
Good Mickey. It's a very good soup, especially with winter melon. Stella, why not for LA people? Customs issue?
SEA,
LA has no wet to get rid of. We are so dry already and even the bread is hard to have mold.
I think our body inside maybe very dry too.
As per what my Chinese herbal doctor told me the "hot wet" means something hard to clear up in our body. Normally in summer time, we should eat lighter due to less energy consumed. So something negative would be accumulated. Taking this soup is to clear up those accumulated elements.
Glad to know one "Dai Cheung Kam" friend in HK.
