Ejiao Cake

Ejiao Cake

1. Prepare raw materials:
1. Ejiao and polycrystalline rock sugar need to be powdered in advance
2. Hetian jujube needs to be cut into several halves with scissors, otherwise it is too big
3. Hetian jujube and Yunnan walnut kernels need to be roasted in advance (do not need to be too dry, roasting is for fragrant)
4. Prepare a generous square plate and a thick plastic film

2. Pour the donkey-hide gelatin that has been powdered beforehand into the pot, and pour the old rice wine in Jimo. Then stir well and brew for 24 hours. (It has been brewed with yellow wine for so long to make the effect of Ejiao fully exerted. Many unscrupulous merchants make it directly. In fact, that greatly reduces the effect of Ejiao.)

3. After brewing for 24 hours, pour the rock sugar that has been powdered beforehand into the pot and stir evenly.

4. Boil high heat until boiling, then turn to low heat. (Note: During the cooking process, a spoon must be used for constant stirring to avoid sticking to the pan)

5. The low fire has been boiled until the flag is hung (pictured). This step is particularly important for the production of Ejiao Cake. It is related to whether the rice wine is sufficiently volatilized. If this step is not done well, it is easy to make the Ejiao Cake soft.

6. Put the pre-weighed walnut kernel, jujube, wolfberry, and almond almonds in the induction cooker in a heat preservation state, and stir evenly. (Note: Do not add black sesame seeds at this time, otherwise it will be very difficult to stir)

7. Okay, now you can put the black sesame seeds that have been weighed in advance, but also note that there are more black sesame seeds, so put them in twice to reduce mixing difficulty.

8. After mixing well, you can put it into the plate prepared in advance (the square plate is covered with the prepared thick plastic film, which must be thick! And a layer of vegetable oil should be smeared on the plastic film in advance, so that it can be taken after drying. Under the donkey-hide gelatin cake)

9. Flatten the donkey-hide gelatin cake while it is hot (no matter what tool you use to flatten the donkey-hide gelatin cake, you must put a little cold water on the tool, otherwise the donkey-hide gelatin cake will stick to the tool and won't go away), and then spread a layer of film on the donkey-hide gelatin cake Keep the donkey-hide gelatin cake hygienic, you can put it in a dark and cool place to let it solidify and form~ (usually three days and three nights)

10. It's a success! Cut! Can you see the nuts!

Tips:

1. Black sesame seeds must be carefully selected, otherwise sandy soil will greatly affect the taste.
2. Before boiling, the jujube, wolfberry, walnut kernel, etc. must be removed from impurities.
3. Pay attention to heat is the key to boiling.
