Pharmacist's tip: Patients with hepatitis C can eat loach and tofu soup. Cut open the loach, remove the intestines, clean it, and cut it into sections; cut the tofu into small pieces for later use. Add a small amount of oil to the wok, and when the oil is 80% cooked, put in the loach and stir-fry, then add appropriate amount of water and bring to a boil, then add the tofu and cook for 2 minutes after boiling, add salt and MSG to season, and add appropriate amount of starch to thicken. If used for a long time, it will help control or even treat the condition of hepatitis C patients.
