Herbal Jelly-Sweet Gui Ling Koh


Herbal jelly,in chinese we call it Gui Ling Koh.It a very healthy snack,especially in hot weather and after a spicy meal.For those want beautiful skin,eat more Gui Ling Koh because it a very good detox food.
I like to serve cold.Feel refreshing.It taste sweet and abit bitter.




I make this Gui Ling Koh using my Multifunction Pressure Cooker.I love my pressure cooker very much.It help us alot.Make our life more easy.It easy to use,save cost,time and energy.
Why it call Multifunction Pressure Cooker?Because it not only got high pressure function.It got low pressure,stir-fry,keep warm,steam and slow cook.My mother use it everyday for cooking porridge for the little one and also soup for us.Even double-boil soup i also using my multifunction pressure cooker.Easy,right?No need always check the level of water when making double-boil soup.
