Ginseng Chicken Soup

herbs
These are the ingredients I use for soup – one packet mixed herb spices, some red dates, some wolfberries (or ‘kei zhi’ in chinese), one or two ginseng roots and 4 or 5 pieces chicken wings/drumsticks. I am not sure what type of ginseng I used…but they were the ones my late Mom loves to keep and use for soup. She was an expert in chinese herbs… ( how I missed her cooking…:( )

Wash herbs and chicken. Put to boil with water over low heat for half an hour to 45 minutes. Boil at a gentle pace to bring out the ginseng taste. When chicken is cooked, throw in the wolfberries. Add saltĀ  and a little light soya sauce to taste. Serve soup hot…mmm..it’s my favorite nourishing soup.

Tesco Wipes

I like using those wet wipes or tissues (specially for house cleaning) for my cleaning chores. They come in a pack of about 20 sheets which cost around RM4-5 per pack. It is not easily available in the supermarts. I found an alternative, which has 100 sheets (but smaller) packed in a bottle, like the baby wipes and cost only RM2.59 from Tesco stores.
I like to use them for cleaning dusty fans, dusty tops and shelves or even smelly feet or shoes. Put one in the living hall or office for easy reach. They will come in handy for wiping light spills. Wipes are wet and good for removing stains or dust. I have one bottle right now on my coffee table in the living room and I’m going to place one at my working desk.

It’s only RM2.59 for 100 sheets and is hypo-allergenic, alcohol free, fragrance free. Tesco wipes are suitable for the whole family use .. :)
