Heaven White Lotus Seed 500g

Description

This is a pack of Dried White Lotus Seeds, a versatile and nutritious ingredient widely used in Chinese cuisine and traditional medicine. These "white" lotus seeds have been conveniently peeled and had their bitter green germ removed. Please note: The hard, dried seeds must be soaked in water for several hours or overnight, and then simmered until tender before use. When cooked, they have a creamy, starchy texture and a mild, nutty sweetness. They are a key ingredient in many traditional sweet dessert soups ("tangsui"), such as "Snow Fungus and Lotus Seed Soup," as well as savory herbal soups. They are also the primary ingredient for making the premium lotus seed paste ("lian rong") used in mooncakes. 此為乾燥的「白蓮子」，是中式料理與傳統食補中用途廣泛的食材。所謂「白蓮子」，指的是已經過人工去皮、去芯（去除中心帶有苦味的綠色胚芽）的蓮子，方便消費者直接烹調。請注意：乾燥的蓮子質地堅硬，料理前必須先用清水浸泡數小時使其軟化，接著再入鍋燉煮至您喜愛的軟糯程度。煮熟後的蓮子口感鬆軟綿密，風味清甜。它常用於烹煮「銀耳蓮子湯」等各式中式甜湯，或與排骨、雞肉一同煲煮養生湯品，也是製作月餅頂級內餡「蓮蓉」的主要原料。
