Tremella is a poor man's bird's nest. In fact, Tremella is not cheap now. But it’s still much cheaper than bird’s nest.

Steps

  1. Since I don’t have a small scale, I estimated the dosage myself. It’s just that we don’t have small red dates at home, so we can only use large red dates instead. Small red dates are better.

  2. After soaking, the white fungus will be very big and you can’t control the amount, so it is recommended to soak it one by one! Then cut the white fungus into small pieces as much as possible.

  3. First, boil a pot of water over high heat. After the water boils, add the longan and red dates. The longan needs to be cooked for a longer time so that the flavor comes out. If there are small red dates, you don’t need to put them in so quickly. You can add the small red dates after adding the white fungus.

  4. Cook over high heat for 10 minutes, remember to add a little more water! The longan is so fragrant after boiling! The longan must be boiled so well that the white fungus can be added. I believe everyone knows the role of longan, so I won’t be wordy here~hehehe~·
