Snow Fungus and Papaya Sweet Soup | Daily Cooking Quest
Every now and then, I crave for Chinese herbs made into dessert soup, and this snow fungus and papaya is one of the many incarnation of such sweet soup :) Somehow I like snow fungus in dessert more than in savory soup, maybe because it turns translucent and still retains some crunch texture, a really nice contrast with the tender and sweet papaya. As for the apricot kernels, well, who doesn’t like munching nuts in their dessert, right? ♥
Snow Fungus and Papaya Sweet Soup Snow Fungus and Papaya Sweet Soup Categories: Dessert Vegetarian
Cuisine: Chinese
Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 1 hour 20 mins
Total Time: 1 hour 40 mins
Serves: 8
Ingredients 1 dried snow fungus 2 tablespoon apricot kernel (Chinese: nan bei xing) 2 pandan leaves, knotted 5 cup water 100 gram rock sugar, or to taste 200 gram papaya, cut into bite size pieces Instructions Soak snow fungus in water until puffed up and double in size, tear into bite size pieces, and trim away the yellow bits. Place snow fungus, apricot kernel, pandan, and water in a pot, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour until the snow fungus has softened. You can cook even longer until the texture of snow fungus is to your liking. Add rock sugar and papaya, cook for another 10 minutes. Turn off heat, discard the pandan leaves, and serve immediately.
