2. The peach gum should be soaked to twice its original volume.

3. After boiling, be sure to simmer over low heat.

4. Personally, I think food cooked in a casserole tastes much better than food cooked in a pressure cooker. If you have time, just simmer it slowly in a casserole.

5. You can add rock sugar according to your personal taste. I can’t eat sweet food, so I use less rock sugar.

6. You can add or reduce the amount of water according to your personal preference. The amount of water I put in is just enough to make it viscous. If you like it clearer, add more water.

7. Peach gum is the resin secreted from the trunk of peach trees (it is also secreted from apricot trees, plum trees, and cherry trees). Dried peach gum is very hard and crystalline stone-like (much like transparent rubber) and needs to be soaked and swollen before cooking. Peach gum is very common in southern cities, but in the north, it needs to be purchased at dry goods stalls in large wholesale markets. For convenience, there are many stores selling peach gum on Taobao. After being soaked, peach gum can swell up to a large size. If you buy about 200 grams, it can be used for a long time.
