Before cooking, put the lotus seeds in cold water and soak for over 10 hours; remove the lotus plumule; put the treated lotus seeds in a bowel, and add some water to the bowl and put the bowl in the steamer until the lotus seeds are done.

Pour about 500g water in the pan; add rock sugar and heat the pan; filter the liquid when all sugar dissolve; again put the filtered liquid in the pan and add steamed lotus seeds, and longan pulp, pineapple cubes, green beans and cherries. When lotus seeds float, pour all in a bowel. The dish is colorful. The lotus seeds taste glutinous, sweet and refreshing.
