18 Jiang Zuo  Chicken Soup  With Lion’s Mane Mushrooms Open Box Tasting & Review

18 Jiang Zuo  Chicken Soup  With Lion’s Mane Mushrooms Open Box Tasting & Review:

• Watch Our Youtube Open Box Video First:

I am a hangry food monster camouflaged in an anorexic body. Following my last open box review for “Lao Xie Zhen Taiwan’s Huo Tong Chicken Soup,” it has been tried and tested repeatedly with no exception: I can finish a whole chicken alone in less than 15 minutes. After many tries, I figure that “chicken soup” is a dangerous word that triggers my “blackhole appetite.”
My mom misread my binge eating. She thinks the chickens that I’d demolish weren’t enough to feed me and brings back a jumbo chicken twice the size: Whole Chicken soup with Lion’s Mane Mushrooms.”

• Lion’s mane mushroom:

Lion’s mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) is a precious food ingredient for nutrition. It has also been recorded in “Chinese Medicinal Fungi” of traditional Chinese medicine: “Hericium erinaceus is neutral in nature, sweet in taste. Hericium erinaceus can fortify and nourish the five internal organs and helps digestion. Lion’s mane mushrooms can also help with neurasthenia, duodenal ulcer and Stomach ulcer.”
When we were still living in Jingmei, I used to go on secret dates with my mom once a week to our favourite vegetarian buffet-style restaurant and eat till we dropped. Every time we were seated, the first thing my mom does is race to the cooked food area and grab a large plate of cooked lion’s mane mushrooms, as if eating the plate would make us healthy and happy.
I could only imagine my mom squinting her medical-miracle old eyes, looking for a chicken big enough to stuff her daughter’s face as I always demolish the whole chicken from Lao Xie Zhen Taiwan‘s Huo Tong Chicken Soup” alone in under 15 minutes.
With “I must find a chicken big enough for my daughter’s appetite” in mind, she reaches for the chicken soup, largest in size from the supermarket, slowly placing it in her trolly with trembling hands. Hence, I call this “18 Jiangzuo‘s Lion’s mane Mushroom Stewed Chicken Soup,” a product only a mother’s eyes can find.

The traceability platform assists the processed food industry in fully presenting the process of each food ingredient in the product from the place of origin, processing, and distribution.

Every time a supplier makes a sale through COA, the platform prints out a certificate to the processor so that the processor can keep it for records; after the processor has verified the production and sales history and made the food into processed products, the production and sales of the processed food, its process of raw ingredients is confirmed and then presented.

• What is Taiwan’s COA traceable group meal?

Tracing the source of group meals means the school or group meal is presented through the traceability platform.

This time, the weight of the chicken soup is double that of Lao Xie Zhen‘s, which we reviewed before, and the chicken is several times larger, although I often say: “I would rather stuff to death than starve to death.” When the chicken soup is served, I take the joke back. The size of this chicken WILL kill me. To avoid “stuffed to death” in my obituary, I control myself to split the chicken, so I don’t finish it in one breath like before. A generous amount of lion’s mane mushrooms come with this whole chicken. The soup also includes shiitake mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, Shimeji mushrooms, jujube, and wolfberries (goji), resulting in a sweet and delicious chicken soup base. The red dates (jujube) are a little too dominant, stealing away the fragrance of the original chicken soup, but the portion of the precious lion’s mane mushrooms let us dig in in large mouthfuls. The next day, we add organic vermicelli and make another pot of delicious chicken vermicelli soup, which I highly recommend.

Chickens today are mostly “poisonous chickens” injected with hormones, which tend to cause weight gain.
18 Jiang Zuo‘s chicken soup with lion’s mane mushrooms uses clean ingredients, making it ultra-low calories. It is a chicken soup that does not cause weight gain. There are only 130.4 calories per 100 grams.

Fashion Ecstasy 18 Jiang Zuo’s Chicken Soup with Lion’s Mane Mushrooms Review in a nutshell:

Jumbo-sized, unburdened, and healthy chicken soup. Although I still miss Lao Xiezhen‘s Huotong chicken soup, 18 Jiang Zuo‘s Chicken Soup is much larger. For binge-eating pleasures, we’ll repurchase.
