Instructions for Use
Mix the two powders evenly. Use a bamboo knife to slice the liver into two pieces. Spread the mixture evenly over one slice of liver, then place the other slice on top to form a sandwich. Secure it tightly with hemp fiber to prevent the mixture from leaking out. Prepare one large bowl of rice-washing water and store it in a sand pot (avoid using iron utensils). Place the liver and medicine mixture into the pot and simmer until reduced to about half a bowl. Before bedtime, consume the liver and medicine mixture along with the broth.
