Recipe for Red Jujube and Tremella Soup
1. First, soak the tremella in water. I usually soak it at noon and cook it in the evening, or sometimes soak it before dinner and cook it after the meal. This means you can soak it for as short as over an hour or as long as five to six hours. After the tremella has soaked, rinse it two or three times with water and drain it. Remove the yellow base of the tremella, tear it into small pieces by hand, and set it aside.
2. Soak the lotus seeds, red jujubes, and goji berries in water as well. This doesn't take long; generally, ten minutes is enough. I usually soak them right before I start cooking, then begin cleaning and tearing the tremella. By the time the tremella is ready, the lotus seeds, red jujubes, and goji berries will be almost done. After soaking, drain them as well. Tear the red jujubes open by hand to expose the flesh. This is done to help the sweet flavor of the jujubes release more easily.
3. Add cold water to a pot, then add the tremella, lotus seeds, the "flesh-exposed" red jujubes, and goji berries all together. Once the water comes to a boil, turn down the heat to low and simmer slowly. Be careful not to leave the lid wide open, otherwise, the soup can easily reduce and dry out.
4. Soon you will be able to smell the aroma of the red jujubes, but don't rush it. It needs to simmer for at least an and a half hours. Towards the end of the cooking time, add rock sugar to taste. Because the red jujubes I buy are very sweet, I add very little.
5. After adding the rock sugar, stir it in, and after a few minutes, the nourishing and beautiful soup is ready to be served. It's truly delicious! Note: The volume difference between dried and soaked tremella is huge. If you don't particularly like eating tremella, don't soak too much at a time. Drinking tremella and red jujube soup regularly can enhance beauty and nourish the skin. The dietary fiber rich in tremella can promote intestinal peristalsis and reduce fat absorption. It has strong nourishing and fitness properties, making it an excellent product for beauty. Additionally, tremella and red jujube soup can protect the liver and improve myocardial nutrition. I hope my suggestions are helpful to you. Thank you.
