    Just wondering if anyone got any simple tong shui recipies that they're willing to share? Nothing fancy simple stuff you can get from a supermarket. I recently moved to west tex and it's super hard to find ingrediants that you would normally find in an asian market or community.

    red beans + dry orange peels + some glutionous rice + brown sugar = 1
    green beans + some glutinous rice + sugar cubes= 2
    japanese yam + "pearls" + sugar cubes + slices of ginger = 3 (**definitely a must)
    normal sweet potato + sugar cubes + slices of ginger = 4
    taro + sugar + pearls = 5
    coconut milk + pearls + taro = 6
    hasma (too pricey i think) + any milk + slices of ginger = 7
    sasame + water (just buy those packs in the supermarket) = 8
    egg + water + sugar cubes = 9

    almond tong sui = almond+sugar

    is a very nutritious tong sui but not anyone can take it due to the smell of the almonds.

    Yea think of it as a dessert soup, more often hot (but not always)

    and if it seems strange to you, think of hot chocolate but in a bowl
