Ingredients

Scale
  • 19 grams Fritillaria Bulb 川貝 (1/2 兩)
  • 1 Snow Pear (peeled, core removed, diced or sliced)
  • 50 grams Rock Sugar (approx 2 medium sized rocks)
  • 2 Fresh Lily Bulbs 鮮百合 (optional)
  • 50g Snow Fungus 雪耳 (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soak the herbs in a small bowl in cold water for 10 minutes to remove traces of impurities. This will help remove dust and debris. Rinse and set aside in a small bowl.
  2. Wash and pat dry snow pears. Cored pear and cut the snow pears into small pieces, approximately 2 inches.
  3. Add sliced Fritillaria Bulb, snow pears and rock sugar in a ceramic stewing pot. The glass double boiler with the Buydeem Health Beverage Maker is also excellent.
  4. Although not all Chinese herbs react with metal, it is best not to use a metal pot when making Chinese medicinal herbal soups.
  5. Do not add water inside the stewing ramekin. The natural juices of snow pears will release as they are stewed. Cover the stew pot to ensure none of the liquid escapes.
  6. Method One: Add one litre of water to the Buydeem Health Beverage Maker and insert a glass double boiler. Set to Herbal mode to stew for 120 minutes.
  7. Method Two: Place wire rack into InstantPot and add approximately 1 cup of water to the bottom. Place ramekin on top of wire rack. Set InstantPot to manual high pressure for 1 hour.
  8. Method Three: Add a few inches of water to the bottom of a large pot. Then, place the ceramic stew pot on top of a wire rack. Stew over medium heat for 2 hours.
  9. Serve and enjoy.

Equipment

Notes

If you do not have an InstantPot, the same results can be achieved over stove top in a pot for 2 hours. Make sure you cover the small ramekin with a lid to maintain pressure and heat.
