How to Make Red Date, Goji Berry, and Tremella Soup

Red date, goji berry, and tremella soup is a nourishing Chinese dessert loved for its health benefits and delicate sweetness. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to prepare it at home.

Ingredients: 10 red dates (pitted), 15g goji berries, 10g dried tremella (soaked until soft), 1 piece of rock sugar (or to taste), 1L water.

Steps:

1. Prepare the ingredients: Soak dried tremella in warm water for 30 minutes until it expands and becomes gelatinous; remove the tough stem and tear into small pieces. Rinse red dates and goji berries briefly.

2. Cook the soup: Add tremella, red dates, and water to a pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Add remaining ingredients: Stir in goji berries and rock sugar. Simmer for another 10 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the soup thickens slightly.

4. Serve: Turn off the heat and let it cool slightly. The soup can be served warm or chilled, with toppings like osmanthus or nuts for extra flavor.
