Tremella and lotus seed soup

Ingredients: a tremella, a lotus seed, a proper amount of lily, a little red dates and a piece of yellow rock sugar.

Steps:

1, tremella needs to be fully soaked. This step is very important. Tremella is soaked in situ, and it is easier to produce gum after cooking. I usually soak for one night. After soaking, I removed the yellow part of the root and tore the tremella into small pieces. Tear it off as much as possible. Chopping also contributes to the precipitation of chewing gum.

2. Lotus seeds, lilies and red dates are cleaned and do not need to be soaked for a long time. I use it directly after cleaning, and the ingredients can be replaced. If you use ingredients that are easy to cook, you should pay attention to the order, such as papaya, and try to put them in when the tremella soup is almost cooked. Papaya is easy to cook and can be eaten with a little heating. If it is purple potato and sweet potato, it can be put in the last 20 minutes or relaxed.

3. Add water to the pot, first boil the water, then put the tremella, red dates, lotus seeds and lilies in, and then boil the water.

4. After the water is boiled, keep the fire. Cook with high fire for 10 minute, then turn to low fire for 30 minutes, then cook with high fire for 10 minute, and then cook with low fire for 10 minute. If you change the heat back and forth, chewing gum will be boiled easily.

5. Don't put the yellow rock sugar too early, just wait for the fire to start before adding it. According to this time, the casserole is very successful every time. If it is an ordinary pot, you can extend each stage for 5 minutes as appropriate.
