Tips

1. Softshell turtle’s gallbladder is a nutritional supplement for our body. Chinese medicine believes it can effectively improve our body’s immune system.

2. The gallbladder is a little bit bitter. But its taste can be covered by adding more white pepper powder and beer. Or discard it if you desire.

3. Blanch the meat in 80-degree water to remove bad taste, keep the nutrition and prevent overcooked. 100 degree boiling water enables its nutrition to dissolve into the soup.
