Loofah and Grass Carp Tail Soup

Why people make this soup

When the height of summer hits and you feel hot, thirsty and a bit irritable, Nourilo reaches for loofah. Simmered with a pan-fried grass carp tail and a few slices of ginger, it turns into a clear, naturally sweet bowl that feels genuinely cooling. In the southern Chinese tradition loofah is valued for clearing summer heat and easing that prickly, restless feeling that comes with sweltering days.
