I love to eat chewy food ingredients that used in dessert such as jelly, gummy bear, taro balls, tapioca balls in milk tea and etc. Then I found another chewy food, that is peach gum!
I found this super easy dessert, peach gum dessert, just to cook it in 30 minutes and it is ready to be served!
I bought one peach gum dessert package from Taobao. It consisted of peach gum, gum karaya and saponin rice. Well, you just have to soak these 3 ingredients one night before you want to cook it. If you buy low quality of peach gum and gum karaya, you might have to remove the impurities after you soaked them.
It is really fun to watch peach gum and gum karaya to expand from little one to such a big volume! Yeah, it is so satisfying!
So you cook it by adding water, peach gum and saponin rice for 20 mins and pour in gum karaya to be cooked for another 10 mins. You can add on honey or milk.
There are a lot of people said that peach gum dessert contains collagen, no it is a rumor. Neither one of these ingredients contain collagen although they taste chewy, slimy and glutinous. They are just carbohydrates with low protein, used to use in Chinese medicine. So stay wise if you are still trusting that peach gum contains collagen. Also, I hope you enjoy this dessert ^^
