Boiled Water Chestnut

1. Before cooking, cut off both ends directly, so that you can wash them with confidence. Be sure to wash a few more water before cooking.

2. Add water to the pot and add 3 slices of ginger.

3. Add some more salt.

4. Put all the water chestnut in, you can put it in after the water is boiled, or put it in directly.

5. After covering the pot, select the hot pot program. Before the water is turned on, you can adjust the heat to the highest power. After the water is boiled, turn the heat to low and cook for 50 minutes. It is said that there are parasites in the water chestnut, so you need to cook more. After a while, this will kill the parasites.

Tips:
The black layer on the outside was originally a layer of skin, which can be peeled off when you eat it, because if you don't peel it off, the skin will slip in your hands. You can make a vertical cut in the middle with a knife, don't cut through, just cut in half.
