Sweet and Gelatinous Silver Ear and Lotus Seed Dessert: Simple to Make and Delicious

Silver ear lotus seed dessert occupies a place in Guangdong's sweet dessert industry and is very popular. It is refreshing and moisturizing, with a lot of gel, and is especially loved by beauty enthusiasts. Making silver ear lotus seed sweet dessert can be slowly simmered using an electric pot, or a clay pot over low heat. The method is simple and the ingredients are not complicated. Silver ears come in dry and fresh varieties, and you can select the appropriate materials according to your needs for cooking. I chose dry silver ears and dry lotus seeds, dry ones are easy to store, and you can put them in the refrigerator for later use.

Ingredients (for 3 people):

Dried silver ear shreds 6g

Dried lotus seeds 50g

Red dates 3 pieces

Wolfberries 10 pieces

Rock sugar 30g

Water 900g

This small package of silver ear shreds (6g) can make 2-3 bowls of sweet dessert, enough for 3 people.

Step 1

Soak lotus seeds for about 1 hour beforehand. If there are cores, remove the core before soaking, as the core is bitter.

Step 2

Silver ears are already shredded.

Step 3

Pour the soaked lotus seeds and silver ears into a clay pot, add 800-1000g of water, and add the red dates as well. (Usually, 1g of silver ear needs 100g of water, and if you add other ingredients, increase the water volume appropriately).

Step 4

Turn on medium-high heat and bring to a boil.

Step 5

After boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 14 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent boiling over.

Step 6

In the last 2-3 minutes, add a few wolfberries and add the appropriate amount of rock sugar to adjust the sweetness according to your preference.

Step 7

Turn off the heat after about 15 minutes, cover and steam for a few minutes, and you will get a pot of silver ear lotus seed dessert with a lot of gel.

Let’s eat! The soup is viscous and full of gel, the silver ear is soft and waxy, the lotus seeds are fluffy and sticky, and the taste is very good, with a milky flavor. My kids said: ‘Did you add milk?’ It smells like milk.’ It’s really good!

Spare time, spend half an hour to cook a pot of silver ear lotus seed dessert for family, refreshing, sweet and sweet, moisturizing and slippery, adding sweetness to daily meals! It’s also very good to cook with pear, which can nourish the lungs and dispel dryness, especially suitable for autumn and winter consumption.
