For Cantonese, drinking sugar water is a beautiful thing. Drink soup before meals and sugar water after meals, which makes a complete meal. Especially at the wedding reception, the soup is served first, and the lotus seed and lily syrup must be served last, which means that the couple are sweet and sweet, have a baby early and get along well for a hundred years.
Lily and lotus seeds have the effects of calming the nerves, clearing the heart, moistening the lungs and strengthening the spleen. Tremella is rich in gum and is recognized as a beauty product. Together, it is a soup suitable for all ages.
Euryale ferox is known as "ginseng in water" and is a kind of green health food with the same origin of medicine and food.
Today, I met fresh lotus seeds, fresh lilies and fresh Gordon Euryale, and bought them back. With tremella, I made a lily lotus seed tremella Gordon Euryale soup.
Let's share my method:
Raw materials: fresh lotus seeds, fresh lilies, fresh gordon euryales, tremella, the amount is determined by yourself, and the amount of rock sugar is appropriate according to personal taste.
1, fully soak the tremella in advance, preferably for two or three hours, and change the water several times. Then remove the darker color from the bottom of the tremella, and tear the tremella into pieces, so that the foam is full, and the more broken it is, the easier it is to glue.
2. Peel the core of fresh lotus seeds, because lotus seeds are bitter. Sugar water must taste sweet.
3. Peel the fresh lily into petals and wash them for later use.
4. First put the broken tremella into the health pot and add water, the liquid level is just above the tremella. Friends can also use a pressure cooker, and you can add more water if you like to drink dilute water.
5. Put lotus seeds, lilies, gordon euryales and rock sugar together.
6. After the health pot is electrified, select the "medicated diet" function and start cooking. The time is up to you. Generally, after cooking for an hour, you can see that tremella is gelatinous and soft.
After cooking for so long, I can hardly see the shadow of lily, which has melted. However, tremella can be seen to be full of gum, lotus seeds and Euryales are soft and delicious.
On summer nights, drinking a bowl of this sweet and soft syrup every day can relieve summer heat, reduce fire, set your mind at ease, and have the effect of skin care.
I chose "ugly ears". As friends can see from the above picture, it is not quite the same as ordinary tremella. It is also a kind of tremella, which has more gum than ordinary tremella and tastes more sticky. Cooking soup with ugly ears is thick, sticky and refreshing, which is more suitable for stewing.
I used fresh lilies, lotus seeds and euryales today. My friends can use dry goods, but they'd better soak them in advance before cooking.
