Sarawakian Local Delights : Motherwort or Kacangma益母草姜酒鸡
Motherwort or Leonurus cardiaca is a herbal plant from the mint family. It is originally from Central Asia and SE Europe but it is also found in abundance in my ancestral land, Fujian, China.
Used as a traditional medicine in Central Europe, Asia and North America, it can cure a number of ills. It is called motherwort because it has been used by midwives to prevent uterine infection in women (Wikipedia)
The Chinese legend...
It is used by the Hakka women for health purposes, especially to warm up the womb after delivery. The Motherwort, Ginger and Wine Chicken is now a restaurant dish also and has become very popular. The indigenous people of Sarawak have also developed a liking for the dish. In fact motherwort is grown in many longhouse gardens.
