Strawberry Red Date White Fungus Soup

Strawberry Red Date White Fungus Soup

A refreshing sweet soup of long-simmered white fungus naturally thickened, studded with red dates and strawberries, lightly sweetened for a delicate, silky, fruity dessert.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the ingredients. The fresh strawberries of this season are expensive and not tasty. Previously, I bought candied dried strawberries to make nougat, which happens to come in handy.

    Tremella should be soaked for an hour in advance. High-quality tremella won't have sand or stones inside, but you still need to soak it, tear it into small pieces, and wash it thoroughly to eat with peace of mind.

    Remove the pits from the red dates and slice them; you can directly purchase red date slices or cook them whole.

    Tear the soaked white fungus into small pieces, rinse, and squeeze dry 2-3 times.

    Squeeze out the water from the cleaned white fungus and put it into a clean pot.

    Add all the remaining ingredients.

    Add an appropriate amount of purified water. The amount of water differs slightly between steaming over a double boiler and boiling over an open flame. If you want a thick texture, for steaming over a double boiler, the ideal ratio of ingredients to water is about 1:3, while for boiling over an open flame, it should be 1:4, because water will evaporate during cooking.

    Put it in the steam oven and start steaming at 110 degrees for 50 minutes. I am using a Changdi steam oven; please refer to this for others.
