This simple and yummy sweet dessert is now a favourite with my baby girl. It is simple slow broiler barley with fuchok and eggs. We love it cold on a hot afternoon. Baby girl can almost have a bowl all by herself now. For me it is not the sophisticated desserts that you have found in a 5 stars hotel or restaurant that impress me as what is truly wonderful it a simple bowl of nice homemade dessert that is satisfying and nourishing to the body.
In this recipe, the barley is cooling to the body as belief by the ancient medicine people of the yesteryear and fuchok is protein based that is good for the body. Ok let me explained the fuchok is actually the dried layer of bean curd that is usually easily found in any Asian shop, there are a few types for one is for making Dian Xin ,another type for adding in stir fried or curries and last one is for dessert soup.
Here is the simple recipe that I hope you would enjoy.
Ingredients:
- 200gm of pearl barley
- 1 pack of fuchok about 50gm
- 50gm of rock sugar (add more if you like it sweeter)
- 4 eggs
Method:
- Rinse the pearl barley and add a litre of water and let it boil slowly
- Add clean fuchok once the barley started to boil
- Continue to cook in slow fire till fuchok soften and broken into smooth pieces
- Add rock sugar and let it boil till dissolved
- Add one egg at a time and stir gentle while adding the egg
