Try to add in some dried longan (桂圆肉). Makes it even more yummy!! Can use 桂圆肉 for your white fungus soup too.

but will remove red dates then, my family find it too heaty .....

talking abt dried longan, it goes well with mutton soup.....

[micollh]

thanks mummy !! i seldom add dried longan too, as my mum also said drink too often will be heaty. once awhile is ok, for the sweetness. can use honey dates instead.


Aks u all, if u boil green bean soup, what type of sugar u use? my mum said use the honey rock sugar (brown colour, looks like bee hives) is better, it can help to sooth sore throat. Do you use this rock sugar too ?

[micollh]

Augmum, i have never make mutton siup before… no confidence. later got the smell which i cannot take it. mutton always eat with curry/rendang to cover the smell.
