Snow Fungus & Lotus Seeds Sweet Soup 银耳莲子羹 [滋阴润肺、养颜美容等功效]

This delectable Snow Fungus & Lotus Seeds Sweet Soup, aka Lian Zhi Geng 莲子羹 is an old-fashioned Chinese sweet soup that my mom used to cook for us. It tastes good when served warm and it's cooling and refreshing when served chilled. The conventional/ stovetop method usually takes at least 2 hours of slow simmering to soften the lotus seeds. In this blog post, I'm sharing a quick and easy method using a pressure cooker. No need to stand by the kitchen to "watch fire" 不需要看火. :D  The result is satisfying, with the right texture and consistency that I like!
