Dang Gui Chicken is a traditional Chinese medicine dish to quickly recover from blood loss, treat anemia, and a general antiaging tonic for women. It is used just after menstruation to rejuvenate and recover. The exact ingredients vary widely, but always contain Dang Gui (dong quai). This is my favorite formula.
