Steps for Tremella lotus seed soup
1
Step 1: Soak three things, tremella, lotus seeds, and coix seeds, in warm water the first night. (I spent the whole night in it).
2
This is the fermented white fungus.
3
Step 2: Remove the roots of the soaked tremella. (That is, the yellow-yellow hard thing on the left is at the root of the white fungus)
4
Step 3: Remove the bitterness from the soaked lotus seeds. (Don't throw away the removed lotus seeds. You can dry them and make tea! Lotus kernel can clear heat, relieve heart fire and lower blood pressure. It's quite expensive to buy it individually.)
5
Step 4: Pour appropriate amount of water in the pot and bring to boil over high heat. (I poured most of the pot. My pot is small. This depends on the amount of ingredients you have.)
6
Step 5: Pour in the coix seed and cook it first (because the coix seed is the most difficult to cook, cook the coix seed first). Cook until the coix seed is half-cooked. Pour in the coix seed and turn to low heat.
7
This is what coix seed looks like when it is half-cooked. You can try one. It looks good to bite but not rotten.
8
Step 6: Pour in the lotus seeds when boiled until half-cooked and cook for 20 to 30 minutes.
9
Step 7: Cook the lotus seeds for 20 to 30 minutes, then pour in the white fungus.
10
Step 8: Pour in the tremella and cook for 20 minutes before pouring in the old rock sugar. Cook for another 20-30 minutes. That's fine. I don't put much sugar in because I want to wait until the soup cools before putting in some honey.
11
I added some wolfberry myself, and just put it when it was almost ready.Tremella lotus seed soup Make Tips
Mumu reminds you: I have a little tip to share with you about selecting wood ear mushrooms: try to buy the ones sold loose by weight. The packaged ones are usually large, whole clumps with relatively large roots and fewer leaves. However, the loose ones tend to be more broken up into small bunches; relatively speaking, the roots are fewer and smaller, and some don't have roots at all—they are all leaves! Anyway, if you buy those big clumps, you still have to break them into small pieces when you cook them. Money isn't blown in by the wind these days, so it's best to make full use of what you buy. Don't you agree?
