Sunday Dessert: Sweet Taro with Snow fungus and Gingko. 😋❤️🌺

Hello everyone, hope you have a peaceful Sunday night and a great week ahead! 🤗

I had late lunch with my friend so I decided to make Sunday Dessert 😋

Main ingredients: Taro, snow fungus (picture) and Gingko nuts with rock sugar. It is healthy and fulfilling as my Dessert/Dinner. Snow fungus is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Gingko nuts are very good for memory/brain health.

As always, be inspired, be joyful, take a picture and Enjoy it! 😋❤️

Good stuff Koko! My mom makes makes this often but I never knew the name haha. It's a sweet dessert for whenever. And it's good for inflammation

Awe thank you Kainan. 🙏😊

I learned this from my mom too. Did your mom make the same way I did? 😁

[Kainan in reply to Hidden]

yeah she put some dates in there and sweeten it with crystal sugar

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

Yes the dried dark dates very good too but I have none here. 😂

You practically can add anything you want in there 🤷‍♀️ I sometimes like lotus seeds too 😋

[Hidden]

Oh yayyyyy 🤗 You know exactly what it is 😁👍

so what is snow fungus I have never heard of it before? Does it act as a probiotic or something like that ? how can crystal sugar be healthy? Also Isaw online that eating too much Ginkgo nuts can cause allergic reaction to the skin

[Cooper27 Administrator in reply to Hb2003]

My GP gave me a warning the other week about skin reaction if people eat too much gluten, so I imagine it's a risk with most things if we overdo them Everything in moderation, as they say!

[Hidden in reply to Hb2003]

I was thinking the same as you Hiba xxxx💜❤️💜❤️

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Now Daz what we call great mind thinks alike!😂

[BTCCET in reply to Hb2003]

Is rock sugar the same as crystal sugar Hiba? And do we have an equivalent in the UK? I've never heard of either of these 🤗

[Hb2003 in reply to BTCCET]

I think so ☺️ . I think that there is you put it in your tea i think I’m not really sure though

[BTCCET in reply to Hb2003]

Ok, I think maybe we call it sugar cubes here👍🤗

Hello Koko I’ve never heard of snow fungus so your meal intrigues me as it’s interesting to be introduced to new healthy foods.

I’m sure that you and friend enjoyed lunch so nice one. 😊

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Thank you Jerry. 😁🙏

We incorporate snow fungus in many of our traditional cooking like soup, salad and pan seared veggies too. 😋

We had great time at the animal shelter and lunch afterwards 😁👍

Have a great week ahead Jerry! 😊🙏🌞☮️🌺

Very interesting Happyman4, I hope you will make this Greek dish one day and post for us to see how it turns out. I love the ingredients you mentioned 😋👍

This is looking really good! I am not used to having desserts like these since my tradition only implies different cakes or biscuits, but trying exotic fruits would be something new for me. My wife keeps looking on chopnotch.com/ for different recipes and I am helping her every time that she tries to cook something. In my opinion, cooking together is another form of bonding that all couples should experience. And everything is fun and the cooking time is even shorter if there is someone to help you out.

Thank you 😊 🙏
