Yes, you can tell I love my dessert hot soup aka tong shui. I am a Cantonese ma and I did grow up having amazing tong shui from my Poh Poh and Mom. Hong Kong has the best tong shui places which I can't stop thinking about. Here is one which I make the best and very often for my team and friends. It is Fu Chuk Yi Mai Tong Shui. Fu Chuk means beancurd. Yi Mai means Barley. All the elderly always tell us to consume this soup more, so that we will have good complexion and fairer skin. When I was pregnant, my Mom and Aunt cooked this very often for me too. Hopefully my babies will come out pretty fair. LOL. I just love the taste of it. Don't care if I will be fair. I prefer my skin colour now anyway. I can never find a good one in town, hence I cooked myself. Over the years, I have changed and added soya milk and corn to the soup base. Thanks to my Aunt who showed me once in one of her tong shui. U will fall in love with this one. Trust me.
Ingredients for 8 pax/ 4litres :
. 100 g barley
. 30 pcs ginkgo nuts, remove shell and skin
. 2 sheets of flat beancurd skin
. 2 dried beancurd sticks
. 5 to 6 pcs pandan leaves
. 1 pack of bee rock sugar (up to individual taste) or any sugar
. 2 litres of water
. 15 hard boiled quail eggs, remove shells
. 2 litres of sugarless soya milk
. 1 whole corn (just the kernels) or 1 can
The benefit of this tong shui : Ginkgo nut consumption lowers cholesterol levels. Barley is a particularly rich source of fiber, molybdenum, manganese and selenium. Barley packs lignans, a group of antioxidants linked to a lower risk of cancer and heart disease. Fu Chuk and soy are like tofu, they are high in protein, low fat, high fibre and rich in vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins and magnesium. Quail eggs are a great source of protein. It contains large amounts of vitamin C and vitamin A, which can help neutralize free radicals and protect your health. Corn can aid with digestion, it has zinc, magnesium, copper, iron and manganese. Wow, it is a bowl of fantastical soup! Enjoy guys.
