Ginger is pungent and warm in nature, enters the lungs, stomach, and spleen meridian. Its main functions are to release, dispel cold, relieve vomiting, and relieve phlegm, and it can treat cold and cold.
Ginger candy is made with fresh ginger. The prepared ginger candy can not only keep out the cold and keep warm, prevent and treat colds, but also increase appetite, help digestion, and adjust gastrointestinal function. It is a food that is very helpful to the human body.
Most of the commercially available ginger candies have various additives added during the production process, which not only makes us worry about eating, but also greatly compromises nutrition. The ingredients for making ginger candies are very simple, only ginger and white sugar are used. Now is the season when Zijiang is on the market, let's make our own warm and healthy ginger candy!

Ingredients

500g Ginger (zijiang)
400g Sugar
1/2 a cup Shimizu

Homemade Ginger Candy

1. Ingredients: ginger, white sugar

2. Cut the ginger into slices about 3 mm thick

3. Soak the sliced ginger in clean water for several hours, changing the water several times during the period. (I made it the next morning after soaking in the evening)

4. Put the soaked ginger slices into a boiling pot, add sugar, add half a cup of water

5. After boiling on high heat, change to low heat to boil out the added water and the water in the ginger

6. When the syrup can be boiled in the pot, turn off the heat quickly (the whole cooking process is about 30 minutes)

7. After boiling, pour the ginger and syrup into a stainless steel basin or a non-stick pan, and stir-fry quickly with chopsticks. (Note this is not on fire)

8. Stir-fry until the syrup is sandy, stick to the ginger slices and become a dry sugar sand state, you can stop the stir-frying, and then let it cool naturally.

9. See if the fried ginger candies are the same as those on the market. Keep in an airtight jar after natural cooling

Tips:
The sugar should not be too little, and the ratio of 8 taels of sugar per pound of ginger is more appropriate.
If you don't like the spicy taste of ginger slices, change the water several times during soaking, and extend the soaking time to reduce the spicy taste of ginger.
