Equipment

  • Bowl for soaking
  • Cooking pot for boiling
  • Scissors for cutting (a knife can also be used)
  • Chopsticks for stirring

Ingredients
  

  • A bowl of hot water enough to submerge the snow fungus
  • 1 dried snow fungus
  • 1 tsp starch optional
  • 500 ml water
  • 10 pieces of red dates
  • 40 g rock sugar
  • 15 g goji berries

Instructions
 

  • In a heat-resistant bowl, add 1 dried snow fungus, 1 tsp starch, and enough hot water to soak the dried snow fungus for 1 hour.
  • Once the snow fungus is soft to the touch, clean it by rinsing it thoroughly while making sure dirt is removed.
  • Let it dry and drain excess water in a strainer.
  • When the snow fungus is cool to touch, use scissors to cut it into small pieces. The snow fungus has a hard yellow-orange center that needs to be cut off and discarded. You will only cook the parts outside the yellow-orange center.
  • Get a cooking pot and add the small pieces of snow fungus and 500ml water.
  • Bring the water to a boil.
  • As soon as it boils, stir the soup with chopsticks for 15 seconds in a rapid circular motion. This step is essential in achieving the syrupy gelatinous texture.
  • Next, add 10 red dates and 40g of rock sugar.
  • Cover the pot with a lid and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, check the consistency of the soup and make sure the ingredients have softened.
  • When you have achieved your desired consistency, add 15g goji berries and simmer for about 5 minutes or less. Remember, do not cook goji berries long or else you will have a tart or sour soup instead of sweet.
  • Serve and enjoy while fresh and hot. Alternatively, keep it in the fridge and serve it cold.
