What people use it for
Soaked overnight, picked clean of bark, then simmered in a sweet soup with snow fungus, red dates and rock sugar. It is the crunchy-then-slippery texture in that dessert.
How to prepare it
Soak 10 to 15 g in plenty of cold water for 10 to 12 hours - it swells to many times its size. Pick out the dark bits, then simmer 20 to 30 minutes.
Keeping it
Airtight and dry. Undissolved it keeps for a long time; once soaked, use it that day.
Questions people ask
How long do I soak peach gum?
Ten to twelve hours in cold water, or overnight. It will not soften properly in a short soak.
Why are there dark bits in it?
Bits of bark from the tree. They are picked out after soaking, when the resin is soft and they lift away easily.
How far does this pack go?
At the quantity in the instructions above, about 42 servings from this pack.
Is the bigger pack cheaper?
This one works out at S$3.56 per 100 g. One Sunny lists most items in more than one size, so compare that figure rather than the pack price.

Delivery was quite fast. Unpacked and stored in airtight container and refrigerated. I used about 3 Tbsp when I cooked the first time. It was a bit too much for the 4 of us. Need to soak them overnight. I cooked with dried longans, red dates, white fungus, wolf berries, rock sugar and added pandan leaves. Have to use a pair of tongs to remove some of the debris. Heard that it’s good for the skin.
