Spinach and Hainan Egg Drop Soup

My husband buys fresh Haihong after get off work. It’s rare that he can buy groceries home. I ate part of the steamed Haihong directly with the condiments, and I made egg drop and spinach soup with the rest. Because it uses steamed Haihong soup, the soup is extremely delicious. Hainan, also known as mussels, is more effective than the commonly used cholesterol-lowering drug sitosterol. It can be eaten by the general population, and is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people with weak constitution, insufficient Qi and blood, and people with malnutrition.

Cucumber Vermicelli Mixed with Haihong

Mussels, I still like to call them Haihong according to our local name. At first, I passed on my misunderstanding about Haihong to my parents, saying that Haihong is high in cholesterol and should not be eaten in large quantities, which made my father, who has high blood pressure, never dare to try it. Later, by chance, I learned about the true nutritional value of Haihong. It turns out that this small shellfish is not only good in quality and affordable, but also has the unique effect of inhibiting the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver and accelerating the excretion of cholesterol, which will lower cholesterol in the body. They are more effective than the commonly used cholesterol-lowering drug sitosterol. Eat more, be sure to eat more! From then on, it was on my parents’ dining table, and it would be there the next day. I also like eating in a variety of ways, especially this light way of eating.

I bought shrimps in the spring, and this dish was also made in the early spring. The shrimps at that time were all plump, and the heads were full of shrimp paste. The green garlic stalks were only available in spring. The light pink red, the green of the green garlic, and the black pepper dots made up a delicious plate of side dishes to go with wine. Sometimes, simple, but also delicious.
