Recently, Ping An Life Station carried out on-site teaching activities to invite residents to learn how to make silver ear soup together.
Ingredients: silver fungus, red dates, lotus seeds, lilies, rock sugar, goji berries, etc
Specific steps:
1. Choose high-quality silver fungus, the color is too white or too yellow is not good, the quality of the color light yellow is better, clean without impurities, the smell is fragrant. If you smell a pungent smell, eighty percent are smoked with sulfur.
2. Put the fungus into a large bowl, root side up, pour an appropriate amount of water, press a small plate, soak for 4 hours, and soak the fungus thoroughly. The silver fungus must be fully soaked to facilitate the gumming.
3. Lotus seeds can choose to remove the core lotus seeds to avoid bitterness during the boiling process and affect the taste. If you have not removed the lotus seeds, you can also soak the lotus seeds for a period of time before removing the lotus core.
4. Rinse the soaked silver fungus with clean water and cut into small pieces with scissors. Many people tear directly by hand, and the flowers are relatively large, so the glue is slow.
5. Prepare a casserole, the casserole is heated quickly, the heat preservation is good, and it is conducive to the gum of silver fungus. Put the silver fungus into the pot, pour an appropriate amount of water, boil on high heat, turn to low heat and cook for 15 minutes, then turn off the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, the silver fungus will quickly come out of the gum, and the soup will become sticky.
6. After 10 minutes, add lilies, goji berries, rock sugar, continue to cook for 10 minutes, the fragrant and sticky silver fungus soup is ready.
When the lid is lifted, a unique aroma of silver ear soup fills the drunken restaurant, and looking at the brightly colored silver fungus soup in the pot, everyone is salivating.
What should I do if I accidentally cook too much and can't finish it at once? You can put the rest in the refrigerator and have a small cup of ice-cold fungus soup in the afternoon.
