Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare the required ingredients first, soak and wash the white fungus, and soak the lotus leaves in warm water until soft.

   

2. 2 The white fungus must be chopped into pieces, unless of course you really like to eat it. My family doesn't like the taste of white fungus very much, so I chopped it up. After a while, the white fungus gelled and melted into the soup, and it just tasted sweet. Chopped white fungus is also easier to cook.

   

3. 3 In the summer, it takes at least one and a half hours to make a real Tremella dessert by yourself, with the help of a pressure cooker. This is not easy to cook, so it needs to be placed on the soup setting, which takes about 25 minutes.

   

4. 4 When using a pressure cooker, I only put lily, white fungus and rock sugar. After the pot is out, I switch to a regular pot and add dried osmanthus. It is recommended to use ready-made osmanthus paste, which is not only sweeter but also has a more delicate taste. Even if dried osmanthus is cooked for a while, it will have an astringent taste. Look, the white fungus has turned into gel!

   

5. 5 At this time, add large slices of lotus leaves. You don’t need to cut the lotus leaves into thin pieces. You just need to cook them for a while to let the fragrance and light green color of the lotus leaves enter the soup. Finally, throw them away. Then add the wolfberry and simmer over low heat for 5-7 minutes.

   

6. 6 Does it take less time to make it successfully than lotus leaf porridge? Also sweeter? Because I used a pressure cooker, I saved a lot of time and effort. Now the dessert is still hot and bubbles are coming out. I put it in the refrigerator to chill. It is better to drink it cool!
