Tips:
1. The key to steaming horseshoe cake is to make raw and cooked syrup. The temperature of the sugar water should not be too high or too low, about 90 degrees is appropriate. It depends on your feelings, and you will have experience after more fumbling, and you must stir the raw syrup quickly while mixing Pour in sugar water, it is best if the raw and cooked pulp is translucent. If there is white paste in the raw and cooked pulp, it means that it is too hot. If there are transparent bumps in the raw and cooked pulp, it means that it is too hot.
2. The freshly steamed horseshoe cake must be cut into pieces after it has cooled completely, otherwise it will not form.
3. Lanxiangzi should be placed in cold or warm water to boil. If hot or boiled water is used, it will not boil.
