White Fungus, Red Dates and Longan Soup with Glutinous Rice Ball
This White Fungus, Red Dates and Longan Soup with Glutinous Rice Ball is the perfect way to introduce yourself to Chinese cuisine.
The white fungus, also known as snow fungus, is a type of edible mushroom that has a delicate, spongy texture. It is often used in soups and dessert dishes for its mild flavour and healthy properties. Red dates, on the other hand, are a type of dried fruit with a sweet taste and chewy texture. When simmered in water, they release a natural sweetness that complements the white fungus perfectly.
So if you're looking for a comforting and nourishing soup that's light on the stomach, this White Fungus, Red Dates and Longan Soup with Glutinous Rice Ball is the perfect meal for you.
