Guts out

I have been coughing for nearly a month. Yes, I detest coughs. Perhaps it is due to my asthmatic background but when a cough starts, it usually takes me ages to get well. Sometime I can cough till my stomach’s muscle aches and sometime; the toilet bowl is like my best friend. Haiz.

Someone was saying that this kind is call the 100 days cough. Yay, I heard about that and my GP actually believes it too.

Anyway, a dear friend recommended me to take this as it is handed down by her late granny. Yes, I heard about ginger's healing properties. I couldn't believe it, after taking it twice. I can feel that I got much better.

The chesty feel was gone. Unfortunately, that night, I took some cabbage which my mom said it is a "cooling" vegetable and believe it or not, my cough comes back again.

So this time round, I am more obedient and listen to our Asian beliefs. After all, we have such genes and why defied it and let our health suffers.

I made my son drinks this too because he too was having a similar cough as me and he too is showing good sign of recovery.

It is not that difficult to drink. In fact it is sweet! Just that it has this "spicy" feel to it.

So if you have a nagging cough and your phlegm is white and bubbly. Try Ginger with egg Soup because you are having a "liang" (cool) cough.



What you need:

300ml water
3 walnut sized ginger (grated and extract juice)
rock sugar for taste
1 egg

Method

Boil water with ginger juice and rock sugar till sugar melt.

Beat egg lightly and add into the boiling water.

Stirring continuously. Wait for a few seconds for bubble to appear on sides of the pot.

Turn off heat and pour into a bowl.

Drink lukewarm.
