Papaya Peach Gum sweet soup 木瓜桃胶糖水

Am so blessed that my papaya tree has been giving us a regular supply of fruits.

Add this to our regular dose of peach gum and for now, I super liked this Papaya Peach Gum sweet soup 木瓜桃胶糖水.

Learning experience: Do not overcook the papaya if not, it will become too mushy.

I used a slow cooker because I don't have to watch over it.

What you need:

1 small papaya
50g peach gum (please see the previous post on how to prepare this)
Rock sugar (to taste)

Method:

Skin and remove seeds from papaya.  Cut into chunks.

Using a slow crockpot, let the peach gum cook for 2 hours.

Add papaya and continue to cook for another 1/2 hour.

Add rock sugar to taste.

Either eat hot or cold.

Note:  Do not boil with the papaya too long, if not it will become way too soft and mushy.

If using direct heat, steam the peach gum for half-hour and then combine with papaya and boil for 15 mins.

Enjoy!
