Luo Han Guo, Dried Cabbage and Pork Lung Soup

Why people make this soup

Nourilo points out that after a wave of colds, some people slide into a stubborn bronchial cough that just won’t quit. When the cough is wheezy with little but sticky phlegm, there’s a fever, thirst and a dry throat — the “hot type” picture — monk fruit shines. Monk fruit is traditionally valued for transforming phlegm, easing cough and soothing the throat. Paired with dried cabbage, figs and pork lung, this becomes a clear, moistening pot the whole family can enjoy during cold-and-flu season.
