Ingredients (Serves 4):

- 40g chopped Sabah Seaweed / Sea Bird Nest (washed & soaked for 8 hours)

- 4 pandan leaves (optional)
- 2 slices of ginger (optional)

- 60g rock sugar

- Small amount of red dates

- Small amount of dried longan

- Small amount of dried wolfberries

- Small amount of American ginseng

- 1 litre water

Method:

1. Place pandan leaves, ginger, red dates, dried longan, dried wolfberries and American ginseng into 1 litre water and bring it to boil.

2. Add rock sugar and simmer for few minutes.

3. Stir in the seaweed and cook for 1 minutes on low heat.

4. Serve hot or chilled.

Tips: Sabah seaweed can also be used as thickening agent for cooking. It creates the same effect as corn starch but gives extra nutrients to your dish! Just cook the seaweed in plain water until it has completely melted and thicken (250g seaweed with 500ml water). Let it cool down and set into jelly form. Keep in the fridge for future cooking use.
