60g Snow fungus
50g Chinese red dates ~pitted, rinsed and drained
1 can Longan ~drained (I used can longan to substitute dried longan)
200g Sugar or add to taste
5 Pandan leaves ~rinsed and tied into a knot
2 Litre Water
Method:
- Soak snow fungus in water for 30 minutes to rehydrate or until soft, then washed and use scissors to cut into smaller pieces.
- Put Snow fungus, red dates and pandan leaves into a pot and bring to boil over medium heat ~ then simmer at low heat until fungus and red dates are tender, about 30 minutes. Lastly pour in longan and simmer for another 10 minutes. Add sugar to taste.
- Discard pandan leaves before serving, either hot or cold.
Kitchen note: Can also add ginko nuts and wolfberries in this dessert soup
