Tips for success

Skillful cutting of Angelica

Cutting Angelica into sections about 2 centimeters long is a crucial step. This is convenient for Angelica to release its medicinal effect and aroma during stewing. At the same time, the uniform sections also ensure that Angelica and other ingredients are heated evenly in the casserole.

Boiling and shelling eggs

Using low heat when boiling eggs is the secret. Boiling on low heat for 6 to 8 minutes can make the eggs fully cooked and not easily broken. Immediately take out the eggs and put them into cold water after boiling. Shelling becomes easy, ensuring the integrity of the eggs and facilitating them to absorb the soup during subsequent stewing.

Cooking skills

Stewing in a casserole

Choosing a casserole is one of the secrets to the deliciousness of this dish. The casserole heats evenly, and when stewing slowly on low heat, it can allow the ingredients to fully release their flavors. First, add hot water to the casserole, put in longan, Red Date and sections of Angelica, and stew on low heat for 30 minutes to fully blend the medicinal materials and sweetness and form a rich soup base.

Making eggs flavorful

Put the shelled eggs into the stewed medicinal soup and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until heated through. Then add brown sugar and continue to stew for 5 minutes. In this way, the eggs can fully absorb the sweetness of the soup and the aroma of the medicinal materials at the final stage. Every bite is full of rich flavors.

Timing of adding brown sugar

Adding brown sugar at the end is to avoid excessive sugar taste or scorching due to long-term stewing. Adding brown sugar 5 minutes before serving can not only make the brown sugar fully integrate into the soup but also maintain a sweet but not greasy taste. At the same time, it adds a rich sweet aroma to the whole soup.

Recipe variations

Nut combination:

Fish maw combination:

Add a few pieces of soaked fish maw. Fish maw is rich in collagen and becomes soft and chewy after stewing. It absorbs the sweetness of the soup and the aroma of the medicinal materials, enhancing the tonic effect and bringing a unique taste experience. It forms a sharp contrast with the softness of eggs and longan and is very chewy.

On the basis of the original Red Date, longan and Angelica, add a small handful of wolfberries and cook together. After cooking, let the soup cool slightly and add an appropriate amount of honey to taste according to personal preference.

Yellow rice wine combination:

Add an appropriate amount of yellow rice wine to the cooked soup and simmer for a few more minutes to fully blend the aroma of the wine and the taste of the ingredients.

A
The medicinal taste of Angelica may indeed affect the overall taste. If you think the medicinal taste is too strong, you can appropriately reduce the amount of Angelica.

The boiled eggs are difficult to peel?
