Oh my! The hot and humid weather is back again and I just love to have nice bowl of healthy and refreshing dessert. Snow fungus and Chinese pear is one of my fave combination.
Chinese New Year is just round the corner, and lots of goodies waiting to feast on. This dessert is a good way to keep the sore throats and coughs at bay as snow fungus is known to soothe the lungs and throats. Good to have this at least once a week!
Ingredients (Serve 4)
2 Chinese snow pears
2 pieces of dried snow fungus
20g apricot kernels (mixture of sweet and bitter)
Yellow rock sugar to taste
Method
Soak snow fungus into hot water till softened. Break into small pieces and trim off hard bases.
Wash pears and cut into halves. Remove cores and trim hard stems.
Rinse apricot kernels with water. Add 2 litres of water into a slow cooker, followed by pears, snow fungus and apricot kernels.
Simmer for approx. 1 1/2 hours.
Stir in yellow rock sugar before serving.
Variation: Replace snow pears with 1/2 small papaya
