Angelica sinensis soup in coconut

Do you like coconut water? I do. So after the chores of cracking this coconut open, I drank all the water up. Fantastic experience. You should do the same too. Once the water is emptied out (into your stomach), leave the pulp alone and proceed with your work.

The ingredients of this dish are as the above pic. Just grab one or two pieces of chicken, a handful of wolfberries, 5-6 black dates and a few slices of Angelica Sinensis. Sometimes Angelica Sinensis comes in whole (like a twig), so just take a single thumb size amount of it will do. Lastly you need some good wine. Rice wine or perhaps DOM will do the trick.

The cooking method is terribly simple. You have no excuses really. Just dump every ingredient listed above into the coconut. Then fill the coconut up with your wine to about 80% full.

Cover your coconut and place it into a bigger container with enough water to do a double boiling. If you have a thermal pot, it will save you loads of energy. Since I am not a thermal pot salesman, I'll leave you to do some reading up on it yourself. Else, double boil the coconut on low heat for 3 hours.

Result

This is quite a strong taste but it is meant to be. Your wife may not be able to take much of it. It took my wife 2 meals to finish it. This concoction warms the body tremendously and helps in removing "wind" and cure headaches. (it may cure some of your headaches too, if your wife sleeps earlier when she is drunk)
