The weather getting hotter each day and is getting more unbearable. I made green bean barley soup for my family to cool for the internal heat.

Here some benefits of the Green bean barley soup

Benefits of Green bean.It also known as mung bean :

i) Clear Heat & Prevent Heat-stroke

Chinese Medicine believes that the external environment has a strong influence on the body.  For example, in a hot summer the body will absorb more heat from its external environment.  If the body cannot release this heat, physical changes may occur, including: body will feel hot, red face, very thirsty, dry skin, constipation, lack of energy, headache, dizziness.
For the hot seasons, TCM recommends foods that are cooling in nature, can balance the body’s Yin & Yang and can release the heat.  These types of foods should be a part of the daily diet during the summer.
ii) Clear Skin & Help Acne
Mung beans are sweet in taste and cooling in nature.  One of the very old traditional Chinese books, Kai Bao Ben Cao, mentions that mung beans act more on the Heart channel and clear heat and toxins from the skin, and cool heat in the blood.  Therefore, mung beans can help acne and other skin symptoms, such as the common skin rash, cold sores, mouth ulcers, pimples and boils.  
iii) Clear Toxins from the Blood & Body
Modern science now also considers that mung beans can help clear toxins from the body, including environmental toxins and chemicals.

Korean food had always be my favorite food. I never fails to fall in love with the rich flavors of the food.Bibimbap is one of many favorite dishes.

Bibimbap is a signature Korean dish , which mean " mixed meal " or " mixed rice". Bibimbap is served as a bowl of warm rice topped with rain

bow vegetables and gochujang. Egg and meat is also added to the dish, to give it a more balance diet and a richer feel. The Rainbow colors of the dish will already make you drool.

Personally , I prefer "Dolsot Bibimbap". " Dolsot Bibimbap " is served in a hot stone bowl. Before the rice is places in the bowl, the bottom of the bowl is coated with sesame oil, making the layer of rice touching the bowl golden brown and crisp. However , in my family only me and my dearest boyfriend enjoy korean food. Therefore, i didnt went to buy the stone pot ! I think i shall purchase it soon !

Since is our favourite food. I decided to cook my own bibimbap for me and my boyfriend. I did a bit of addition into the recipe. You will be able original recipe at THE KITCHN.
