If you are trying to conceive or bear a son for your family, then this is one dish you should try.

Huai Shan, also known as Dried Chinese Yam, can help promote muscle growth and to counter diarrhea, coughing and dehydration.

Also, traditionally, lotus seeds (蓮子) are associated with the continuation of succession in the family, as the Chinese words mean “continuous sons”.

You can get most of these ingredients from your local supermarket and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) stores.
