"We're gonna be making our first soup, which is Poria mushroom pigeon stew. We'll need this - Poria mushrooms."
Su Yayan took out a small plate filled with white square things. "Poria mushrooms are good for disinhibiting and dehumidifying the orifices, and it's also a good supplement for the guys with a calming effect. If cooked with pigeons, this dish is especially effective towards people with nephritis, edema, and generally have weak health. It's also very easy to make. First, we blanch the pigeon in boiling water to get rid of the scum, then we put the pigeon, Poria mushroom, some onions, and garlic together in a pot with seasonings to taste. Once the water has boiled, we turn it down to low fire for it to stew in its own time."
