Tips: Peach gum will expand significantly after rehydration, so it's recommended to rehydrate a small amount initially. Peach gum needs to be fully rehydrated and thoroughly cleaned before stewing. When making milk stew, it's suggested to stew the peach gum until soft first, then add milk, to avoid prolonged high-temperature boiling of the milk affecting the texture.
1. What is the difference between round peach gum and regular broken peach gum?
Round peach gum has more complete granules and a better shape after rehydration, making the dessert look more appealing. Regular broken peach gum has varying sizes of granules and is more suitable for everyday sweet soups where appearance is not a primary concern. For those who enjoy milk stews, dessert plating, and gift-giving, round peach gum is a better choice.
2. Why does peach gum need to be rehydrated for so long?
Peach gum is a dried gelatinous ingredient that needs to absorb enough water to return to its transparent gelatinous state. Insufficient rehydration can lead to a hard core inside and a less smooth texture. It is recommended to rehydrate overnight and then clean and stew the next day.
3. Is it normal for peach gum to have impurities?
Peach gum is a natural resin secreted by peach trees and may contain small amounts of tree bark, black spots, or natural impurities. Premium round peach gum has relatively fewer impurities, but it is still recommended to carefully pick and wash after rehydration to ensure a cleaner dessert texture.
4. What goes well with peach gum for stewing?
Peach gum itself has a light flavor and pairs well with tremella, snow swallow, saponin rice, red dates, longan, goji berries, milk, coconut milk, rock sugar, etc. For a creamy flavor, make peach gum milk stew. For a refreshing sweet soup, pair it with tremella and red dates.
5. How long should peach gum be stewed for the best texture?
Rehydrated peach gum generally needs to be stewed for 20-40 minutes, with the exact time adjusted according to particle size and personal preference. For a chewy texture, cook for less time; for a softer, smoother texture, extend the cooking time appropriately.
6. How to store peach gum properly?
After opening, dried peach gum should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from moisture, high temperatures, and direct sunlight. Rehydrated peach gum should be stewed and consumed as soon as possible and is not recommended for long-term storage.
