Longan, red dates and eggs

Longan, red dates and eggs

Overview

When Xiao Kaikai came to visit her aunt some time ago, her stomach hurt very much. In order to save my big belly, I have been paying special attention to taking care of my body recently! Xiao Kaikai has been drinking red date, longan and egg soup once a month a week before coming to my aunt for half a year. Now my aunt’s stomach doesn’t hurt anymore, so I recommend it to everyone!

Ingredients

Steps

  1. First prepare the ingredients, the first one is red dates! Xiao Kailai especially hates eating red dates, so she prepares pitted red dates, 20 of them are enough!

  2. The second ingredient is longan meat, which is also cored! This is our specialty in Guangxi, and it’s not expensive so you can put more of it! 😋

  3. The third one is a brown sugar cube! Xiao Kaikai used ginger brown sugar this time, which is made by boiling old ginger and sugar cane juice together! Because Guangxi is the largest sugarcane-growing province in the country, many villages will make their own brown sugar during the sugarcane harvest season. This is what a friend brought to me when he returned to his hometown! If you don’t have ginger brown sugar, regular brown sugar cubes will work too!

  4. The fourth ingredient is eggs! The ones Xiao Kaikai chooses are free-range eggs laid by their own hens. They look no different from ordinary eggs on the outside, but when you taste the yolks, you will know they are different! It’s different from the ordinary yellow, it’s orange, and it’s delicious! I have to thank Xiao Kaikai’s cousin for this! 🌹

  6. Boil the prepared eggs! Xiao Kailai couldn't stand poached eggs placed directly in the soup, so she prepared boiled eggs!

  7. After the eggs are boiled and shelled, we can prepare an oil-free pot, add an appropriate amount of water, and pour the red dates in! PS: You need to add enough water at one time, you can prepare it according to your own situation! Xiao Kaikai prefers Duoduo soup~😍

  10. After the longan and red dates have been boiled for a while, we can put the prepared ginger and brown sugar in. We can add it in batches, so that we can better control the sweetness of the soup!

  12. When the longan meat starts to float on the water, we can turn off the heat and simmer for ten minutes!

  13. Ten minutes have passed and we can put in the hard-boiled eggs that have been peeled! After the soup comes to a boil, simmer over low heat for another ten minutes and it's done! Be sure not to cook it for too long. If you cook it for too long, the red dates will be very soft and the longan meat will be very soft, so it will lose its taste! Ten minutes is just right! The longan meat at this time tastes crispy and delicious!

  14. The cooked longan, red dates and eggs can be eaten after cooling for a while! 😋It tastes particularly good whether iced or hot! If you are eating it when visiting your aunt, it is still recommended to drink it hot!
