桃胶的其它食谱推荐:

1、桃胶银耳雪梨羹
配料:桃胶15克 雪梨1个(300克) 冰糖30克 银耳5克 清水1000毫升
做法:
1)将桃胶放入清水中浸泡一夜(12小时左右)至软涨,体积大概能涨大10倍。再仔细将泡软的桃胶表面的黑色杂质去除,用清水反复清洗后,掰成均匀的小块。
2)银耳用清水泡20分钟变软后,用手掰成小朵。雪梨去皮切成1cm大小的丁。
3)将桃胶、银耳和水放入锅中,大火煮开后改小火继续煮30分钟,此时汤汁开始变得有些粘稠。
4)放入梨丁煮5分钟,再放入冰糖,边搅拌边煮3分钟,至冰糖彻底融化,汤汁浓稠即可。

功效:清热去火的作用。冬季可以趁热喝,夏季冷藏后食用口感最好。为了保养皮肤,在夏季冬季,通常会每天做上一次。

 桃胶,是从桃树的树干分泌出来的树脂。干的桃胶呈结晶石状很硬(很像透明的橡胶),需泡软发涨后再煲制。桃胶有工业和食品用之分,吃的话当然要选食用桃胶了。

2.桃胶凉拌
桃胶泡好后,清洗干净水分过滤掉后放到碗里,按自己的口味,喜欢甜的朋友可以加蜂蜜或者白糖或者桂花酱,喜欢咸品的朋友们可以加盐味精葱醋等佐料,搅拌后就可以吃了哦, 如果天热了, 一定记得放冰箱里冰下, 那个口感更好。

3.桃胶红烧肉
桃胶泡好清洗干净, 等红烧肉烧的差不多了,把桃胶倒进去炒几下既可以出锅了哦, 这个时候的桃胶QQ 的口感很不错哦,红烧肉的口感也更好。
