General cooking process (applicable to all 20 recipes)

step	Key points of operation	Firepower/Time	Remark
① Wash the materials	Rinse twice with cold water to remove surface blood and impurities.	—	Chicken and pork bones can be rubbed with salt for 1 minute to remove the slime.
② Blanching removes fishy smell	Put the ingredients in a pot of cold water, add 5 slices of ginger and 1 tablespoon of rice wine.	High heat → 2 minutes after boiling	Leave the lid off throughout the process to allow the fishy smell to evaporate.
③ Boiling over high heat	Remove the blanched ingredients, rinse off the foam, and put them back into the pot.	Fire 30 minutes	Water volume = Material weight × 2.5; Skim off foam while rolling.
④ Simmer over low heat	Add "main medicinal materials": such as Eucommia ulmoides, Cynomorium songaricum, Morinda officinalis, etc.	90 points on low heat	Maintain at 90–95 ℃, with the soup surface gently bubbling.
⑤ Double-boil the essence	Pour into a stewing pot and add "auxiliary medicinal materials": goji berries, red dates, codonopsis, etc.	80–85 ℃ 90–120 minutes	Use the "health stew" mode on your electric slow cooker to lock in the aroma.
⑥ Keep warm and season	After turning off the heat, let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.	Residual heat preservation	Add salt last, ≤1 g/100 ml, to avoid excessive sodium intake.
⑦ Filtering and portioning	First strain the broth, then divide the meat and vegetables into portions.	—	Soup should be refrigerated for ≤3 days or frozen for ≤1 month; meat and vegetables should be consumed immediately after each meal.
