Rock Sugar White Fungus &
Lotus Seed Nourishing Dessert Soup
(冰糖银耳莲子羹)
Rock Sugar White Fungus and Lotus Seed Nourishing Soup is a traditional Chinese dessert made primarily with white fungus (Tremella), lotus seeds, and simmered with goji berries, red dates, and rock sugar.
This dessert has a pleasantly sticky, smooth texture and is known for its ability to clear heat, detoxify the body, nourish Yin, and moisten the lungs, as well as enhance beauty and support wellness.
It is commonly consumed as a daily health supplement and is especially suitable during recovery after illness.
White fungus, known as the “pearl of mushrooms,” is rich in natural collagen and vitamin D.
Lotus seeds contain antioxidants that may help prevent cancer and reduce blood pressure.
Goji berries nourish the liver and kidneys, while rock sugar enhances sweetness and helps balance internal heat.
The preparation involves fully soaking the white fungus, removing the bitter core from the lotus seeds, and simmering all ingredients over low heat for 2–3 hours until the soup becomes viscous.
Ingredients like lily bulbs or pears can be added for extra flavor.
The soup may be served warm or chilled—served cold, it is especially refreshing.
Pregnant women should consume lotus seeds with caution, and people with diabetes should avoid this dish.
Individuals with weak digestion are recommended to eat it warm.
