sweet pumpkin｜金瓜莲子白木耳

This is a great dessert for everyone, even who is on diet. Pumpkin full of beta-carotene (antioxidant), aid in body detoxification and help in prevent cancer too. White fungus is source of collagen. It can take as main course (serve with some salad) too because it provide the satiety and sufficient of nutrients.

老少都适合的甜品，即使在减肥的。金瓜富有胡萝卜素（抗氧化剂），有助于排毒，预防癌症。白木耳是胶原蛋白的来源。来些青菜，这就个当正餐，因能提供饱足感，营养也很高。

ingredients | 料

1/4 pumpkin (skin and seed off), 1/2 cup lotus seed, 1/2 bowl white fungus

１／４金瓜（去籽和皮），１／２杯莲子，１／２碗白木耳

procedure | 步

1. cook the pumpkin by steaming it, then set aside allowed to cool

把金瓜蒸熟，待冷

2. add about 1500ml water into the pot, then cook the lotus seed. When lotus seeds are cooked, add in white fungus and boil for another 40 minutes

１５００ｍｌ的水，煮莲子，熟后，加白木耳再煮４０分钟

3. blend the pumpkin by using food processor to make puree

把金瓜用搅拌机打成酱

4. add the puree into the pot and mix thoroughly. If you find it is too thick, add some water and bring to boil.

然后倒入莲子汤里，如大稠，可加水再煮

5. Sugar in not necessary because pumpkin is a sweet squash at least you like it to be very sweet.

除非你很爱甜食，不然糖是不需要的，因为金瓜本身就甜。

note: white fungus can cook with lotus seeds at the same time. I add in white fungus after lotus cooked because i love the crunchiness of the white fungus

白木耳可与莲子同时煮，本人不爱白木耳软绵绵，所以就分前后下煮
