Celery soup with dang gui and wolf berries

Sharing my own simple do-it-at-home recipe.

Recipe 1: Healthy- meatless comforting soup.
Celery(4 long celery stalk) , "dang gui", wolf berries and some soup stock(may be chicken stock)
Immersed 3-4 dang gui slices and handful of wolf berries in water. Cut the celery stalk into 7-10cm length. Boil 5 cups of water in the pot then put in the soup stalk. I prefer the Konbu Dashi soup stock. Then just add in the celery stalk, wolf berries and the dang gui slices. High heat for 5-10 minutes and then turn into medium heat for another 5 minutes. Voila....The very comforting soup that is absolutely healthy. You many remove the dang gui slices if you feel the taste is strong enough as they tend to show bitterness if you cook them too long. Salt may be added if you want saltier taste.

Preparation time:10 minutes
Cooking time: 15-20 minutes
Serving size: 3-4

P/S: This soup will bring you energy and comfort. Best to have it when you are stressful and tire.

Recipe 2: Potato salad with Feta cheese
Ingredient: 3-4 potatoes, Feta cheese, salt, coarsely grinned black pepper and mayonnaise
First, remove the skin of potatoes, cut it into bite size cube, then cook it in boiled water until it turned tender. Then remove the water. Allow the potatoes to be cooled in room temperature or in the fridge. Taste the feta cheese, if you feel it is too salty for your taste, immersed it into a mixture of water to milk in ratio 1:1 for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Crumbled the feta cheese and mix it with the potatoes, sprinkle pinch of salt according to your taste. Then add 6 table spoon of mayonnaise and mix them well.( you may even add 1 soft boiled egg, crumbled it and added it to the potatoes, taste really different although mayonnaise is a lighter version of substitution, i like them both together) Lastly, sprinkle some coarsely grinned black pepper to give you the exotic flavor. I usually add a lot of black pepper.... ^^. Voila. The feta cheese potato salad is best served chilled. If you cannot finish it, just keep it refrigerated and it can last for 2 days.
