Lily Bulb (Japan) - 百合(日本)

Flavour & Texture: Mildly sweet and subtly floral with a crisp, tender bite. The ivory-white layers soften beautifully when cooked while retaining a gentle bite.

How to Use:

🥣 Congee & soups — Simmer whole layers into rice porridge or light broths for a naturally sweet, nourishing bowl.

🍳 Stir-fry — Toss with snow peas, goji berries, or mushrooms over high heat for a quick, elegant side dish.

🍯 Steamed dessert — Steam with honey and wolfberries for a classic soothing sweet soup.

🍚 Rice dishes — Fold into steamed rice or mixed grain bowls for a subtle floral sweetness.

Pro tip: Add lily bulbs at the very end of cooking — they only need 1–2 minutes of heat. Overcooking turns them mushy and dulls their delicate flavour.

Storage: Refrigerate and use within 3–5 days of purchase. Rinse gently and separate the layers just before cooking.
