How it's used
Often associated with traditional Chinese medicine, this ingredient is prized for its supposed ability to moisten the lungs and alleviate coughs. It requires meticulous cleaning to remove blood and impurities before cooking, which is why it is frequently blanched multiple times in home kitchens. You will almost exclusively encounter it as a key component in slow-cooked soups.
