Collagen Soup
1.
First prepare all the ingredients and weigh them. Peach gum and snow swallows need to be soaked 12 hours in advance. In summer, the temperature is high and they are easy to deteriorate. They need to be soaked in the refrigerator, and the water needs to be changed twice.
2.
The soaking time of the saponaria rice is shorter, 6-8 hours is enough. Observe more, the foam foams and expands, and there is no hard core.
3.
Wash the soaked snow swallows, saponaria, and peach gum to remove impurities. I put the peach gum and the snow swallow in a colander and rinsed them separately, and then used tweezers to clean out the black spots of impurities. Put an appropriate amount of water in a stainless steel pot or an enamel pot, first put in peach gum, and then put the saponified rice into the pot.
4.
Put the lid on, turn off the minimum heat when the water is boiled, and cook for about 20 minutes.
5.
Open the lid and check that the soup is a bit sticky, then put the washed snow swallows into the pot.
6.
Wash the red dates, put them in the pot, add rock sugar, boil, turn to low heat, and simmer slowly for 10 minutes.
7.
Pay attention to this step. After boiling the pan, turn to the lowest heat. Never cover the lid again. Stir it with a spoon at any time to prevent the pan from sticking to the bottom. Because peach gum, saponaria, and snow swallows are all gelatinous, full of collagen, if you don't stir it, it will definitely stick to the pot. When I made it for the first time, I neglected and didn't stir, so the new pot I used for the first time was muddy because of the soup, and it took a long time to wash it off.
8.
It’s full of collagen, so I just want to eat it.
Tips:
For soaking peach gum and snow swallows, it is best to use a white bowl to facilitate the observation of impurities. Do not soak for too long, otherwise it will not be easy to clean. It must be put in the refrigerator in summer, otherwise it will deteriorate easily. Impurities must be removed, otherwise the cooked soup will have many black spots, which will affect the appearance. Put the snow swallows and red dates in the pot, adjust to the lowest heat, do not cover the lid again, be sure to stir to avoid sticking the pot. Xueyan, the number of foaming hair is 30-50 times, so you don't need too much when foaming hair, just a little bit is enough, and it will be a lot after foaming.
