1, first soak the tremella in water. Usually I soak it at noon and cook it at night. Sometimes I soak it before dinner and cook it after dinner. That is to say, it can be as short as an hour or as long as five or six hours.
Wash tremella with water for two or three times after soaking, and control the water. Remove the yellow roots of tremella, and tear tremella into small pieces by hand for later use.
2, the lotus seeds, red dates and medlar are also soaked in water. This doesn't take long, usually ten minutes. I usually soak them before cooking, and then I start to clean the tremella and tear the pieces. Tremella has been processed, and lotus seeds, red dates and medlar are almost the same. Control the water after soaking.
Tear the red dates by hand to expose the pulp. This is done to make the sweet taste of red dates easy to come out.
3. Add cold water to the pot, and put the tremella, lotus seeds, "meat-exposed" red dates and medlar together. When the water boils, turn it to a low heat and start to cook slowly. Be careful not to open the lid wide, or it will dry easily.
You can smell the red dates soon, but don't worry, it will take at least one and a half hours to cook. Add rock sugar when it's almost cooked, according to personal taste. Because the red dates I bought are very sweet, I put them rarely.
5. After the rock sugar is put in, stir it. After a few minutes, the delicious and delicious nourishing soup can be cooked. It is really delicious!
Note: there is a big difference in the volume between dried tremella and soaked hair. If you don't particularly like eating tremella, don't be greedy when soaking.
