Where can I buy almond mushroom? May be you mean almonds (north and south almonds)
Thank you for your inquiry, it’s not referring to almonds, it’s a type of mushroom, in Chinese > 姫松茸/巴西菇。
Hello, thanks for the recipe!
Three questions:
1. Do I need to use fresh red dates (红枣) or dried ones (干红枣)?
2. For these amounts, what is the approximate amount of water needed? I don’t want the soup to be too mild or too strong.
3. Do I need to peel the Ginseng, or is good with its skin?
Thanks!
Hi Jephthah,
1. Dried ones.
2. As given in the ingredient list above.
3. Clean the ginseng.
Thanks.
