Leng Chee Kang


Leng Chee Kang

Just want to share what i did today...other than the normal cooking lah.

My version of Leng Chee Kang is quite simple. All i do is visit a chinese herbal/drug store & tell him/her you want to buy stuff for leng chee kang. He can suggest or you can tell what you want.  

basic items

Refer photo above, clockwise from top left:
1. Lotus seed, dried longan, almond-like nuts & lo-han-ko (the dark greenish round fruit;wash and just crack the skin a little bit)
2. White fungus, soak in water for about 1 hour.
3. Sugared winter melon (halwa/gula kundur)
4. Honey comb sugar (or rock sugar)- add last before serving 



Boil everything except honey comb sugar. I use my rice cooker, set to 2 hours , close lid and leave to boil.

Sugared winter melon actually provides sweetness to the leng chee kang; i don't add sugar into mine, however you can add honeycomb sugar if you like- it dissolves in the hot leng chee kang.

Enjoy

  10. Hello Makcik Kantin, saya da lama ta'makan ni.
    This supposed to be a 'cooling' drink when body feel hot.
    I used to love it when cold. Sedap!
    You have fun and stay young, Lee.

  11. Uncle Lee,

    Ya, u reminded me...'leng' is suppose to mean 'cool' if i'm not mistaken. Chee Kang tu 'wa em chai' = 'i don't know'
