Soup Name: Dried Beancurd and Ginkgo Nuts Dessert
Traditional Chinese Name: 白果腐竹糖水 (bái guǒ fǔ zhú táng shuǐ)
Introduction:
This is a great hot “sweet”, otherwise known as a dessert that is said to help with the complexion and smoothness of your skin. I especially like the gingko bilobas and the texture of the dried bean curd. It’s a very common Chinese dessert and is super easy to make.
What Ingredients are required?
15-20 fresh gingko bilobas
2 sheets of dried bean curd
1 piece of rock sugar
1 raw egg (optional)
1 L of cold water
How do I prepare it?
-
Start boiling water
-
Wash dried bean curd in warm water, break up into large pieces to fit into pot
-
Wash gingko biloba
-
When water boils, add gingko bilobas and rock sugar (as much or as little as desired)
-
(Optional egg) – crack whole into water
-
Boil for 30 minutes and serve!
Any benefits?
-
Excellent for nourishing the skin and complexion
-
Great source of protein
Any precautions?
-
People with gout should eat with caution
-
Eat gingko bilobas in moderation as too much is poisonous
