Aloe Vera Sweet Soup


It's been a long time since I made some Chinese sweet soup.

I was doing my weekly marketing yesterday & came across some aloe vera blades at one of the stalls. A sweet soup idea came to my mind right away & without hesitating I bought 2 large blades.

Something I learnt from previous experience, never use a wooden chopping board to cut aloe vera. The green sap will leave a deep yellowish stain on the chopping board & it seems to be permanent there. I mind the stains on my chopping board so I ended up buying a new one. So now each time I have to cut a blade of aloe vera, I'll use a tempered glass chopping board for easier clean up. And, oh yes, wear a pair of disposable gloves too.
Peel the aloe vera & wash the green away until it's no longer sticky. Cut the gel into cubes & set aside for making the sweet soup.

Ingredients :

2 Blades aloe vera, cleaned & cut into cubes
10 Pandan leaves, cleaned & tied into a knot
20 Dried red dates
2 Heads dried snow fungus
1/2 Cup dried longan
Rock sugar to taste

Soak both red dates & dried longan in hot water for 5 mins. Rinse & drain. Soak the snow fungus in a seperate bowl until they are well plumped up, tear them into small pcs & discard the harder yellow 'core', rinse several times under running water until they are clean.
Place 3L of water into a large pot, add pandan leaves, snow fungus, red dates & dried longan into it. Bring to boil, turn down heat & let it simmer for about 1hr. Discard pandan leaves, add rock sugar accordingly to taste. Turn off heat & add the aloe vera cubes into the soup, serve.

  23. I've been surfing on-line more than 3 hours nowadays, yet I by no means found any interesting article like yours. It is lovely value sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made just right content as you did, the web will likely be a lot more useful than ever before.
