Speaking of pea yellow, what people think of most is old Beijing pea yellow. In fact, we also have pea yellow in Henan. The method is not very the same as that of old Beijing. The main ingredient of pea is basically the same, but our pea yellow is here. There should be dried persimmons in the middle. I actually prefer our Henan pea yellow because it has a persimmon filling, which tastes rich, and the sweetness of the persimmon and the aroma of peas complement each other, making it delicious. I remember that when I was a child, we would sell pea yellows here in the winter and spring seasons, because there are dried persimmons in this season, and they can’t be eaten at other times. Although you can buy pea yellow in supermarkets all year round, this traditional type of dried persimmon is only available in winter and spring. I have a soft spot for pea yellow, so I often make it at home during this season. It used to be very troublesome to make pea yellow, and it had to be boiled and broken, and it had to be fried, which was time-consuming and laborious. Now there are a lot of electrical appliances in the kitchen, and using machines makes it easy to do it. So you can make it anytime you want to eat, and often make it as a gift. To be honest, what you make is better than what you buy."

Ingredients

[henan] Persimmon Sandwich Pea Yellow

1. For peas, choose this kind of peeled dry peas, don't take them with the skin!

[henan] Persimmon Sandwich Pea Yellow recipe

2. Soak the peas in water half a day in advance, soak until the peas rise, and the volume will double

3. Add water and the beans are basically flat, and then use the baby porridge stall of the rice cooker to boil the beans until they are soft. It takes 2 hours to cook baby porridge, which is too time-consuming. You can also use a pressure cooker for 10 minutes.

4. The boiled beans are poured into the wall breaker, and the rock sugar powder is added and smashed at the same time. The wall-breaking machine is very delicate, and you can use other cooking machines if you don’t have it, as long as it can be broken.

5. The whipped peas paste is very delicate. Even if it is not very delicate, it will not affect the solidification, so don't worry if there is no wall breaker.

6. Because the bean paste has a lot of moisture, you can put it in the bread machine and use the stir-frying function to fry for about 20 minutes. The specific frying time is determined according to the moisture content of the bean paste. If there is more water, frying for a while. If you don’t have a bread machine, you can use a wok to fry by hand. The moisture is just a little bit dry. Don’t fry the moisture completely.

7. Cut the dried persimmon into strips. The hanging dried persimmon I used is very sweet.

8. Pour a part of the fried bean paste into the container, then spread a layer of dried persimmons, and then pour the remaining bean paste on top

9. It’s cold now, let it sit in the kitchen for about 2 hours, and it’s ready to be poured out after it’s completely cooled down.

10. Cut it open, there is a layer of dried persimmons in it, it's delicious

Tips:
1. Pea must be peeled.
2. Don't use too much water when cooking, otherwise the frying time will be longer.
3. Sugar I use rock sugar powder. You can also use white sugar directly. The sweetness of this amount of sugar is basically OK. You can also increase or decrease the amount of sugar according to your preference.
