Stir-Fries
TCM food therapy goes far beyond soups and stews. The art of the quick stir-fry seals in freshness, preserves vital energy, and uses aromatic herbs like ginger and scallion to warm the center. A simple goji berry scrambled egg nourishes liver blood, a plate of yam and wood ear mushroom strengthens the spleen and lungs. Explore the most down-to-earth way of Chinese healing cuisine — stir-frying wellness into every daily meal.
