Back to soup recipe

Here's a simple recipe to enhance milk (taught by my mom-in law). It works on me.. Just take 5-10 minutes to cook... tasty also.

50g of gingers (crushed in lesong) - can use more if prefered
3 eggs (kampung) - mix well
A bowl of water
Salt

1. Heat 1-2 TSP of oil (or sesame oil)
2. Mix crushed gingers into eggs. Pour the mixture into the oil. Cook until egg is done.
3. Pour in a bowl of water. After the water boil, simmer in lower heat until the colour of the water becomes white.
4. Add in some chinese rice wine (the type chinese usually cook with chicken during confinement period - huang jiu/wine made from red rice). Add salt to taste.

Variety: the chinese rice wine can be replaced by using mixture of `great wall vinegar' and `ka ting sweet vinegar'.

-------------------------------

My friend told me that `MALTA' drink also enhance milk supply.

This is not a secret recipe, just one of those soup which MIL makes at home, and I have definitely noticed a marked increase in the milk I pump during the day if I consume this soup for dinner the night before. Plus, its delicious

White radish (lobak) - One, cut into big chunks
Dried Oysters (Soaked till soft) - a handful
Optional - Dried Scallops (Soaked till soft) - a handful
Water (approx 2 big bowls)
Cooking oil (1 teaspoon)
Salt & Pepper (seasoned to taste)
Spring onions (optional)

1. Fry the dried oysters and scallops (opt) till fragrant.
2. Add the water and the white radish
3. Boil till the soup is slightly milky white
4. Add salt, pepper, spring onion.

You can add chicken bones or pork ribs to this soup to make it even 'sweeter'.

MIL said the dried oysters can improve milk supply. Don't know how true, but this soup has worked for me all the time.
