I have just started to watch The Stew of Life online, one of the latest TVB family comedy drama. During Episode 1, Fala Chen asked her mom, Louise Lee if she could have some Papaya and Snow Fungus dessert. Ahhh…..after watching her savour the dessert, I decided to make it myself 😉 I googled and found the recipe here.
Ingredients:
1. Papaya
2. Snow fungus
3. Sweet and bitter almonds
4. Cane sugar (I used Rock Sugar)
Method:
1. Soak the white fungus in cold water. (Take note, they will expand in size after soaking.)
2. Cut and deseed the papaya
3. Put everything into the pot and boil. (I boiled it under low heat for over 2 hours)
4. Add in desire amount of sugar to taste
A medium-sized papaya, rock sugar and sweet/bitter Chinese almonds (available at the Chinese Medical shop). I totally forgot about the snow fungus till an hour after I boiled this dessert. Luckily I had some in the fridge 🙂
Put everything into a pot and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 2 hours. You can even cook them in a crock pot. Serve warm or chill.
The Papaya White Fungus dessert is one of the more nourishing Chinese desserts. Show fungus are good for nourishing the lungs and the sweet/bitter almonds heal cough and expel phlegm. Can’t wait to drink this dessert while enjoying The Stew of Life 🙂
