Grandma's delicious dishes made from fresh ginger in the 7th lunar month

When I was a child, my parents took me to my maternal home every summer. I noticed that during the rainy months of July, the small house always smelled of fresh ginger, spicy and warm. I often asked my grandmother what she was cooking that smelled so good.

She smiled toothlessly, saying that in the seventh lunar month the weather is hot and cold, and the yin energy is strong, so many people are sick, lethargic, have cold stomachs, and feel sad... Therefore, she cooks delicious dishes from fresh ginger for everyone to eat. Ginger is a friend of yang energy, it is delicious and warms the spleen and stomach.

Then she told me to learn how to cook from her in the kitchen. In the morning, she made warm fresh ginger, honey, and lemon for the whole family to drink. This "bodyguard of the respiratory tract" taken in the morning helps keep the throat warm, the lungs warm, and helps prevent minor illnesses. At noon, she cooked ginger and egg soup to help nourish the blood. She said that the youngest sister-in-law had just given birth and ate well. Her cold hands and feet felt warm from the inside out. The ginger and mung bean sweet soup warmed the heart and soothed the spirit and was eaten after dinner as a dessert, both sweet and spicy, and the mind also calmed down like the sky had just stopped raining. Then there was the lotus seed ginger porridge: light on the stomach, easy to sleep. The chicken stewed with ginger and Chinese medicine strongly increased the yang energy. These two dishes take a long time to make, but every time she made them, the fragrant ginger scent spread throughout the house. Especially for people who have just recovered from illness, or men who need to gain strength, they only need to eat these for a few meals to be healthy and normal again.

On the evenings of the 7th lunar month at my grandmother’s house, rain or shine, the whole family still gathered around the dinner table under the soft yellow light. Each hot dish of ginger helped warm everyone. I always remember what my grandmother said in the kitchen: Ginger is a spice, a “small fire” that keeps the family warm and peaceful in the days when the yin energy is strong.
