Make Ejiao Cake at Home

First of all, of course, the most important thing is to choose a good donkey-hide gelatin block. Well, at a normal price like now, more than 1,000 pound is a better donkey-hide gelatin block. If you have some channels, or if you have a fellow in Shandong, you can ask to buy it from the locals. After you buy it, look at the outline. If it is a better Ejiao block, you can see it from the appearance. The corners of the corners are transparent, and then you smash it, the lines of each piece are particularly clear, and the corners and corners will still be transparent.

This step is to put the rice wine together with the donkey-hide gelatin block, and just put it in a soup pot without seams. This picture of me was soaked for ten hours, and the effect has been almost half. Well, after it all melts, you can proceed to the next step. Generally speaking, it is about two days and three days.

Preparation material three, 100 grams each of wolfberry and red dates. For red dates, it’s better not to buy the big Hetian dates, which are relatively empty and not easy to preserve, and the sweetness is not as good as the small ones. Sweet, I bought small and medium ones. For goji berries, you can buy larger ones, but larger ones will be better and sweeter.
