Recently I decided to cook a simple desserts because I feel that I'm getting heaty and though I do not know if this dessert is "cooling" in nature or not but the fact that I eat this chilled is good enough for me! This is a very simple dump-it-all-in desserts which actually doesn't require a recipe but for those who are curious, this is it.
Ingredients:
- 150gm beancurd sheets (腐竹)
- 160gm bird nest
- 160gm cooked gingko nuts
- 50gm + (150 to 200)gm rock sugar
- 4L water
- 1 egg
Method:
1. Soak the beancurd sheets in water to soften them. Soak the bird nest in a separate bowl.
2. Remove the little "stems" inside the gingko nuts.
3. Put the washed gingko nuts into a small pot and add enough water to cover them. Put in a piece of rock sugar (abt 50gm) and bring it to a boil. Continue to simmer for 10min. Leave aside to cool and let the gingko nuts soak in the syrup.
4. Bring the 4L of water to a boil and add in the 150gm rock sugar. Adjust the sugar amount to your liking. Make sure the sugar is dissolved completely before you add in the other ingredients.
5. Strain the gingko nuts from the syrup and put into the pot. Do the same for the beancurd sheets. Discard all the soaking liquids. Strain the bird nest and add them in too. Bring the whole pot to a simmer and simmer for few minutes.
