Rock sugar pear not only has a refreshing and sweet taste but also has many benefits. Pears are rich in vitamins and minerals, which can help moisten the lungs, relieve coughs, and clear heat and toxins. At the same time, rock sugar also has a nourishing and moisturizing effect. During the process of enjoying rock sugar pear, I also like to chill it before drinking, which makes it even more refreshing. In the hot summer, having a glass of chilled rock sugar pear can not only quench thirst and cool down but also provide nutrition for the body.
Ingredients for Snow Pear with Rock Sugar
| Tremella | 100g |
| Snow pear | 150g |
| Wolfberry | 15g |
| Rock sugar | 15g |
Steps:
1.Prepare a fresh snow fungus. Try to choose snow fungus that is slightly yellowish in color, full in texture, and undamaged. Soak the snow fungus in enough warm water in a clean bowl for one hour. Add a teaspoon of white sugar to the warm water, which can help the snow fungus absorb water faster and become soft and smooth. Cut the soaked snow fungus into small pieces with scissors, which will help it cook better.
2.While waiting for the snow fungus to soak, prepare the pear. Choose a fresh pear with a full and juicy texture. After washing the pear, peel it and cut it into evenly sized small pieces. Be careful not to cut them too large or too small, as it may affect the stewing effect. Put the cut pear pieces in a bowl and set aside.
3.Take a deep pot and add two bowls of water. The water should just cover the bottom of the pot. Put the cut pear pieces and the chopped snow fungus into the pot. Snow fungus tends to stick to the bottom of the pot during cooking, so it is better to use a deep pot. Cover the pot with a lid and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once the water boils, reduce the heat to low and simmer for half an hour. After half an hour, do not rush to open the lid, let the pear and snow fungus simmer for a while longer, which will make them softer and smoother in texture.
4.After about ten minutes, open the lid and add an appropriate amount of rock sugar and goji berries. Note that the amount of rock sugar can be adjusted according to personal taste. If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add more rock sugar. Gently stir with a spoon to allow the rock sugar and goji berries to blend well into the soup. Cover the pot again and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, allowing the rock sugar to fully dissolve and the pear and snow fungus to become more flavorful.
5.When the time is up, turn off the heat, and the refreshing and thirst-quenching rock sugar pear is ready. You can refrigerate the finished rock sugar pear in the refrigerator for a while, which will enhance the taste and make it even more refreshing to drink.
