    1. Choose lotus roots with pinkish skin as they are softer and more glutinous. Do not choose the crisp ones. 2. Add red dates and longans according to personal preference. Use less rock sugar, as the red dates are already quite sweet. Choose seedless red dates, or pit them yourself. 3. If you like sweet soup, add slightly more water when cooking so you can have a bowl of sweet soup in the end. 4. Here, I also made the syrup into a longan and red date jam that can be spread on bread. Alternatively, you can dip the lotus root directly in the sauce. 5. Do not choose salty preserved plums.
