Yeah, it’s quite a long name. π
Strictly speaking, this soup should belong to dessert, since it’s a sweet soup not a savory soup.
Main ingredients are white fungus (soak in the water first till completely softened and remove the yellow bottom), red dates (remove the core), barley (wash clean), lotus seeds (remove the green sprouts in the middle if there is any to avoid bitter taste) and wolf berries.
Put all ingredients in a pot. Here I used a rice cooker. Add in enough water.
Also add in several sugar cubes according to your preference.
I chose “soup” function on the rice cooker. And it cooked for approximately 3 hours. If you use normal pot on stove. You can bring to boil with high heat first, then simmer with low heat for 1.5 hours.
Soup is nice. Because it contains red dates and white fungus, it is also called beauty soup.
My husband loves it.
