Sweet Pumpkin White Fungus Soup 南瓜銀耳羹


Here it comes another pumpkin dish made with the pumpkin planted by Auntie Lisa.

It is again very dry and cold these days. I will made this white fungus soup, it helps me fight cold and dryness.

Note: White fungus or snow fungus is a slight yellowish dried fungus, after soaking and cooking it will become white and almost translucent in color.

White fungus is believed to be a good immune stimulant, it fights infection, inflammation, cold and cough, studies have also found that it has anti-tumor property, could lower levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or the "bad"cholesterol). It is also believed to slow the aging process, though I am not sure if there is any scientific research supporting this!

天气开始变得干燥的时候会炖一锅银耳羹做早饭,刚好冰箱里还有阿姨送的南瓜,这次就炖了个南瓜银耳羹,排毒养颜润肺,还很饱肚喔!

Ingredients:
1 bunch of white/snow fungus
1 rice bowl of cubed pumpkin
1 tbsp of dried goji berries (Wolf berry)
Rock sugar to taste
