Ingredients

  • 6 cups (1500 ml) of water
  • 4 slices of ginger- smashed slices are 1 inch in diameter and 1 cm thick before it is smashed
  • 12 (11 g) dried longan pulp
  • 5 (8 g) mini dates
  • ⅓ cup of goji berries
  • ½ tsp of grated ginger
  • 1 stick (48 g) Chinese brown sugar
  • 1 package (200 g) or 10 of glutinous rice balls black sesame flavour

Instructions

  1. Cut the ginger into slices and smash it with the flat part of your knife. Have all the other ingredients ready.

  2. Add water to a pot, followed by the longan pulp, dates, and smashed ginger. Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 7 minutes. The dried longan pulp should change to a soft consistency and become round.

  3. At 7 minutes, add the grated ginger into the water. Add goji berries, sugar and the package of glutinous rice balls. Use a spoon to help dissolve the sugar. Give everything in the pot a quick stir. Simmer for 4-6 minutes until the balls are cooked through.

  4. Ladle the dessert into bowls and serve.
