Amaranth Jelly
1.
A handful of red amaranth, about three to four, clean the mud and sand. The amaranth needs to be washed several times, otherwise it is easy to hide the sand.
2.
Add about 7 bowls of water to a small pot, bring to a boil on high heat, then filter out the amaranth water with a colander, let it cool a little bit, add more amaranth to make the color darker.
3.
In a small bowl, add 5 bowls of amaranth juice, boil over high heat, then add a bowl of pea starch, add a bowl of amaranth juice and mix well.
4.
Slowly pour the pea starch water into the amaranth juice. I used a measuring cup with a diversion port to make it easier to grasp. While pouring, use a silicone spatula to continuously stir the amaranth jelly paste in the pot.
5.
Keep it on medium heat and cook for about 8 minutes. Cook until the jelly paste is bubbling and fully cooked. During this time, use a silicone spatula to stir constantly to heat the jelly paste evenly.
6.
Pour the boiled jelly paste into a large clean bowl. There is no need to grease the bowl in advance.
7.
Put it in the refrigerator and refrigerate for more than 3 hours. It will be completely solidified, and the solidified jelly will come out gently by inverting it, full of elasticity.
8.
Cut some shredded cucumber to make a side dish, a little green onion to enhance the fragrance, and the sauce I use garlic, cooking wine, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili oil, salt, and vinegar.
9.
Shred the pea jelly, put it on the plate, put the cucumber and green onions on the jelly, pour the sauce, and mix well when eating. It is spicy and smooth, cold and delicious. The outside is at least a dozen. Let's make it at home. The cost of a dozen yuan is enough for the whole family to eat a lot of meals.
Tips:
When cooking the jelly, I suggest you use a non-stick pan. It’s so easy to use. The spatula uses a silicone spatula. It is especially useful when stirring. After the jelly is poured out, the layer of jelly in the pot will burn itself for a minute. It's turned into a rice crust, just take it out and throw it away. You don't need to wash the pot, and the cooked jelly doesn't taste offensive. Try it now!
