Chinese Healthy Cooking Workshop
14:00-17:00, at Teadusköök
Chinese health-promoting culinary arts are based on the principle that “food and medicine come from the same source” (Yao Shi Tong Yuan). By combining everyday ingredients with mild Chinese medicinal herbs, dishes are created that help replenish qi, nourish the blood, improve vision, and support the function of the spleen and stomach. The Health Day cooking workshop combines traditional Chinese nutritional therapy with modern home cooking, based on the idea of “eat healthily, live deliciously.”
In this hands-on workshop, participants will prepare three classic dishes: chicken soup with astragalus, egg porridge with goji berries, and a clay pot dish with codonopsis and tofu. Participants will learn how to select appropriate medicinal herbs, properly regulate heat, and apply practical cooking techniques. The prepared dishes help replenish qi, support digestion, and bring health-promoting nutrition to the daily table.
