Equipment

  • Bowl for soaking peach gum
  • Bowl for soaking snow fungus
  • Scissors or knife for cutting snow fungus
  • Casserole for cooking
  • Tweezers (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 7 pieces of dried peach gum
  • 20 g snow fungus
  • 1 tsp starch for snow fungus
  • Hot water for soaking snow fungus
  • 20 g lily
  • 20 g lotus seed
  • 30 g dried longan
  • 60 g dried red date
  • 1 liter of water
  • 30 g dried goji berries
  • 250 g of rock sugar

Instructions
 

Prepare The Peach Gum

  • In a bowl, soak 7 pieces of peach gum overnight or for 12 hours. The result should be a jelly peach gum that is bigger in size.
  • Clean the peach gum. Pick out the dark impurities or black specks found in the resin. You can use a tweezer or your fingers to pick it out.
  • The peach gum is ready for cooking once all black specks are removed.

Prepare The Snow Fungus

  • While soaking your peach gum or after the peach gum is ready, you can start preparing your snow fungus.
  • Put 20g dried snow fungus in a heat-resistant bowl, add a teaspoon of starch, and enough hot water to soak it for an hour.
  • After soaking for an hour, you should have a soft and hydrated snow fungus.
  • Wash the snow fungus thoroughly by rinsing it and removing any dirt.
  • Drain excess water in a strainer and let it dry.
  • Cut the snow fungus into smaller chunks with a pair of scissors or a knife. There is a hard yellow-orange center on the snow fungus that must be removed and discarded. All parts of the snow fungus, except the yellow-orange center, will be used for the dessert.

Combine All Ingredients

  • After preparing the peach gum and snow fungus, you can begin making the peach gum dessert sweet soup.
  • In a casserole, add the 20g snow fungus, 20g lily, 20g lotus seed, 30g dried longan, and 60g dried red date.
  • Then, add the jelly peach gum to the casserole.
  • Pour 1 liter of water into the casserole.
  • Cover the pot with a lid and bring to a boil.
  • Once it boils, simmer on low heat for 30 minutes.
  • Next, add 30g of dried goji berries and 250g of rock sugar. This part only requires 5 minutes or less to cook. Cooking longer than required may produce a strong sour taste from the dried goji berries.
  • After the sugar has completely melted, it is ready to serve.
  • Serve while hot and fresh. You can also serve it cold by cooling it in the fridge first.
