8 oz (abt 250 g) burdock root ('nui pang' in chinese, 'gobo' in japanese)

- Not following the proportion of vegetables as indicated.
- Using wrong type of pot - must use stainless steel or glass pot.
- Leaving the soup outside in room temperature for more than six hours
(it becomes bad-smelling - throw away , do not drink!). Always store in glass container and in the fridge.

WHERE TO BUY THE INGREDIENTS

Pek Kio Market, Cambridge, Stall #01-70 - 'Healthy Vegetable Stall' sells organic vegetables. You can get all the ingredients from them - tell them you want ingredients for 'five fragrance soup' ('wu xiang tang' in chinese, the guy will know what you want!)

I usually pay about $10.00 for one purchase of the above required quantiy.
