Chinese Chayote Soup Recipe(合掌瓜火雞骨湯 )

What are Chayotes?

Chayotes is a type of vegetable that gives off a melon type of vibe. Some say it tastes somewhere between an apple and a cucumber. Anyways, besides the interesting look of literally two fists interlocking, it has a great taste plus its healthy!

Immerse the tangerine peel for about 10 minutes. Remove the dirt inside the tangerine peel by knife.

Break the dry chinese yam into small pieces using your hands and immerse them into water for about 15 minutes. Then, pour out the water.

Rinse apricot kernel (south), apricot kernel (north), lotus seed and dry lily bulb slightly.
