**Kidney-Tonifying Recipe: Walnut Shell Boiled Eggs**
**Walnut Shell Boiled Eggs**
**Ingredients**:
- 6 walnut shells (when shelling walnuts, retain the walnut septum—the woody membrane separating the walnut kernels—and cook it together with the shells)
- 6 eggs
- Soy sauce, to taste
- A pinch of salt
**Instructions**:
1. Wash the walnut shells thoroughly and place them in a pot. Add water and soak for 30 minutes.
2. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 1 hour. Let the liquid cool completely (adding eggs to hot liquid may cause them to crack).
3. Place the whole eggs (with shells on) into the cooled walnut liquid. Add soy sauce and salt to taste. Bring to a boil again, then simmer for 6–7 minutes.
4. Without turning off the heat, gently tap the eggs with a spoon. If they feel firm and elastic (indicating the egg whites have set), lightly crack the shells to create a web-like pattern for better flavor absorption.
5. Continue simmering for another 10 minutes, then turn off the heat.
6. Let the eggs soak in the liquid overnight for maximum flavor.
**Benefits**:
Tonifies Qi, strengthens the spleen, consolidates the kidneys, and helps prevent harm from summer heat.
**Notes**:
1. Adjust soy sauce and salt to taste. If avoiding salty flavors, omit soy sauce but retain a pinch of salt. Salt acts as a "medicinal guide" in this recipe, directing the properties to the kidney meridian.
2. The ingredient quantities are for a family portion. Adjust based on servings. Consume 1–3 eggs daily, depending on your ability to digest eggs.
3. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 2–3 days. Consume continuously for 15 days.
4. Women should avoid this recipe during menstruation.
