Ingredients

Sugar Coated Lotus Seed

1. Soak the dried lotus seeds overnight in advance.

2. Put the soaked lotus seeds in a boiling pot, add a proper amount of water, and look at the volume about 3 times the volume of the lotus seeds.

3. Bring to a boil on high heat, turn to low heat and cook slowly until fully cooked and the moisture is dried, about half an hour. Don't cook it too softly, or it will turn into a pile. Then drain the water.

4. Add sugar and water to the wok and simmer on low heat. Stir it from time to time to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pan.

5. Wait for the syrup to boil until it scoops up a spoonful and pours it into a viscous state. Don't boil it dry, just slightly viscous.

6. Pour in the lotus seeds and simmer slowly over a low fire to make the lotus seeds absorb a little sugar.

7. Turn off the heat until the syrup is about to dry.

Tips:
The syrup should be used on low heat all the way, otherwise it will burn.
Don't wait until the syrup is almost dried before putting it into the lotus seeds, otherwise the lotus seeds will still be bitter inside.
