Chinese medicinal soup formula (Si Shen Tang, 四神汤) consisting of poria, Chinese wild yam, white lotus seeds, and euryale seeds makes one of the classic soup remedies served on the dinner table in many Chinese families and sold by street food vendors.

Pig stomach was used in this soup recipe to honour the original formula. Like other organ meats, pig stomachs are nutritious and have long been used for medicinal purpose in cooking in the East. Pig stomach soup is rich in gelatine and glutamine that are important components for leaky gut healing.

I nicknamed the recipe "instant jam" owing to the fact that I made this raw chia Concord grape jelly in under 5 minutes.
