Strong Man Soup

With Prepared Fragrant Meat Soup

Dog meat (fragrant meat) 250 grams: warms the kidneys and boosts yang, tonifies the spleen and warms the stomach—this is the core warming tonic of this soup.
Prepared Fuzi (processed Aconite) 10 grams: warms and tonifies kidney yang, disperses cold and relieves pain. It must use prepared Fuzi (processed Aconite); strictly no use of raw Fuzi (raw Aconite).
Cuscuta seed 10 grams: nourishes the liver and kidneys, strengthens essence and reduces urination, helping to improve issues caused by insufficient kidney yang.
Ginger and scallion segments, each in appropriate amounts: removes gamey odor, counteracts the cold nature of Fuzi, and at the same time warms the middle and stops nausea/vomiting.
Cooking wine, in appropriate amounts: removes the gamey smell of dog meat and enhances the soup’s savory flavor.
Salt and MSG, each in appropriate amounts: for seasoning. MSG may be omitted according to personal preference.
Note: Fuzi must be the prepared, processed form—raw Fuzi is highly toxic and must absolutely not be used!
The simmering time must be sufficient, at least over 2 hours, until both the soup and the meat have no numbness or tingling sensation when tasted; otherwise, poisoning may occur.
