Ingredients
Instructions
Initial Steaming
Place the dried hasma in a clay pot, add 500 g of water and 15 g of sweet rice wine, along with scallion sections and ginger slices. Steam for 2 hours to allow it to initially expand, then remove, discard the ginger and scallions, and drain thoroughly.
Full Steaming
Remove the black membrane from the hasma and break any large pieces into several chunks. Place in a pot, add 500 g of water and 15 g of sweet rice wine, and steam for 2 hours until fully expanded. Transfer to a large soup bowl.
Preparing the Sugar Syrup
Wash the goji berries. Combine the remaining water (180 g) with the rock sugar in a large bowl and steam for 1 hour. Once the rock sugar has dissolved, discard any sediment, pour the syrup over the hasma, and sprinkle with the goji berries and green peas before serving.
