1, material

3 chunks of auricularia auricula, 7 big red dates, white sugar or rock sugar.

Step 2

First, put tremella (mashed into small pieces) into a rice cooker or porridge pot and add water. Stew until the water boils, and then put it in the washed red dates (red dates can be crushed). Always turn them over.

Rice cooker stew 1 hour or so.

Keep the temperature and stew for more than 20 minutes. At this time, add sugar and stir to increase the sweetness.

Tremella fuciformis is an edible fungus of Tremella of Tremellaceae. Also known as tremella, tremella, tremella and so on. It has the reputation of "the crown of bacteria".

Tremella fuciformis consists of 10 thin and wrinkled flat petals. Tremella fruiting body is pure white to milky white, generally chrysanthemum-shaped or cockscomb-shaped, soft and white, translucent and elastic. Shrinkage after drying, horny, hard and brittle, white or beige. Both sides of the fruiting body are covered with seed layers, which are composed of countless burdens. The basidium is nearly spherical and vertically separated, and its size varies from 10 times 9 (micron) to 13 times 10 (micron). The basidiospores are colorless, smooth and nearly spherical, ranging in size from 6× 4 (micron) to 8.5× 7 (micron).

Tremella fuciformis mycelium is generated by basidiospores germination, multi-celled, grayish white and extremely fine, which plays the role of absorbing and transporting nutrients. When the conditions are suitable, the mycelium forms a fruiting body, which is the edible part of human beings and consists of thin and wrinkled petals. White, smooth surface, elastic and translucent. After drying, it is light yellow, with hard cutin, sharply reduced volume, brittle and hard, and the wet weight is different from 1/3 ~ 1/8, which can be restored to its original state after soaking in water. There is a layer of white powder on the petal surface of mature fruiting body, which is tremella spores. If the tremella spores mature, they will automatically pop up, so that the next generation can be regenerated by wind, and so on.

Tremella is a very precious tonic. The main pharmacologically effective component is polysaccharide, which is the most important component of tremella fuciformis, accounting for 60% ~ 70% of its dry weight. At the same time, tremella polysaccharide is an important bioactive substance, which can enhance human immune function and enhance the body's resistance.

Protein of tremella contains 17 amino acids such as leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, amino acids, serine, glutamic acid, arginine, lysine, alanine, threonine, aspartic acid, tyrosine, cystine, histidine and methionine, among which proline content is the largest.

Tremella and bird's nest are both nourishing products, but bird's nest is expensive. Tremella and bird's nest are the same in color, taste and efficacy, and the price is cheap.

Tremella is best soaked in cold water. Soaking auricularia auricula and tremella with hot water will not only make it difficult to fully bloom, but also make it soft and sticky, and many nutrients will be dissolved and lost.

Tremella must be soaked in the roots, so that it can be soaked thoroughly. After soaking, you only need to pick up the sediment and hard roots, and you can't rub them, because the leaves of tremella are brittle and easy to rub.

Tremella is best eaten on the same day after cooking.
