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!

About Ninja Foodi Multi-Cooker:  The Ninja Foodi that I'm using is a combination of a pressure cooker and air fryer in one appliance, it's super-efficient and time-saving. Besides pressure cooking and air frying, there are other functions such as steam, slow cook, sear/ saute, bake/ roast, grill, dehydrate, sous vide, yoghurt, and keep warm. This cooker helps prepare quick meals without hassle, which I highly recommend to everyone who loves easy and hassle-free cooking with fewer pots and pans to wash.
