🥘 Ingredients

All neutral ingredients for perfect balance

  • 500g Beef mince or diced - neutral, strengthens Qi
  • 1 cup White rice - neutral grain, easy on digestion
  • 1/2 cup Carrots, diced - neutral, benefits eyes
  • 1/2 cup Green beans, chopped - neutral vegetable
  • 1/4 cup Peas - neutral, gentle protein
  • 1 tbsp Fish oil - adds omega-3s
  • 2 cups Water

📝 Instructions

1

Cook the Rice

Rinse white rice and cook with 2 cups water until tender (about 15-18 minutes). White rice is neutral and very easy to digest, making it perfect for everyday feeding.

2

Cook the Beef

In a separate pan, cook beef mince over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks. No need to add oil - the beef has enough natural fat. Cook until no pink remains.

3

Add Vegetables

Add carrots and green beans to the beef. Add a splash of water and cover. Steam for 5-7 minutes until tender. Add peas in the last 2 minutes.

4

Combine & Serve

Mix rice, beef, and vegetables together. Let cool to room temperature. Add fish oil before serving. Store in fridge up to 5 days.

☯️ TCM Practitioner's Note

This neutral recipe is your "daily driver" - perfect for maintaining health without pushing your dog toward hot or cold. Use this as a base and add cooling ingredients in summer (cucumber, duck) or warming ingredients in winter (ginger, lamb) as needed.
