Tips:

1. To buy Tremella, go to a formal shopping mall or pharmacy to ensure the quality. The color of white fungus should be slightly yellow, and most of the white fungus have been artificially reprocessed and smoked with sulfur. This kind of white fungus is harmful to the body! Remember, the yellowish white fungus is the original, and it can play a health role after eating. The white fungus from Beijing Tongrentang is the best.

2. Before making lotus seeds, you must remove painstakingly. Although it is more troublesome, it tastes good. Of course, you don't need to buy dried lotus seeds that are painstakingly removed. Lotus seed painstakingly is also a very expensive medicinal material, so don't throw it away. If you get angry, take the lotus seed heart with water and take it immediately. The effect is very good, ha ha!

3. The soup must be simmered slowly, and must not be boiled over high heat. Only by simmering can the essence be boiled out. The white fungus soup and white fungus soup made by some restaurants are hard to chew. It is unscientific and purely wasteful. It must be boiled to be soft and viscous to be easily absorbed by the human body, and the nutrients of the white fungus can be released to the maximum extent. When making, it takes two and a half hours at the end, and the white fungus stewed in three to four hours is the best! Remember, starch must not be used for thickening, it is the most authentic way to make it naturally viscous.
