Why people make this soup

When night-blooming jasmine (ye xiang hua) returns to the markets, Nourilo is glad — it’s the flower that gives the famous winter-melon-pot dish its lovely fragrance. The flowers smell sweet and clean, and stir-fry beautifully with egg or meat. In traditional food-therapy thinking they “clear the liver and brighten the eyes” and help dispel stale, foul odours. Simmered into a grass carp tail or lean pork soup, the dish is enjoyed to freshen the breath and ease mouth discomfort.
