How to use
Ingredients
- Dried daylily buds
Instructions
- [Prep/Usage]
- [Rehydrating (Must)] Soak dried daylilies in plenty of water for 20-
- mins to soften. The hard 'black stem' at the base has bad texture, so snip it off with scissors (or by hand).
- [Removing Sourness] Often treated with antioxidants for preservation, so washing well under running water after rehydrating to remove unique sourness is the trick for deliciousness.
- [Daylily Pork Rib Soup] Slow-simmer with pork ribs and ginger. The soup turns faintly yellow, becoming an elegant, sweet-scented medicinal soup.
