Ingredients for Snow Fungus Papaya Dessert Serves 3

How to choose fresh and delicious papaya
- For this dessert, you should choose papayas that are just ripe, still firm and not too soft.
- Choose fruits that feel heavy to the touch, ripen evenly, and have a stem that still has latex because this indicates less seeds, thick flesh, and sweet aroma.
- The best papaya is the two-skin type because the inside is quite dense, this type will have a yellow outer skin with small green speckles, and the fruit is elongated.
- Avoid buying papayas if it has rained a few days prior because the fruit will taste bland.
Ingredients for making dessert:
You can buy goji berries, jujubes, and snow fungus at herbal medicine shops, supermarkets, grocery stores, or on e-commerce websites. Many products are packaged in a bag that includes a variety with a suitable amount for cooking, making it easy for you to choose.
