Mom's Ejiao Cake
1.
The Ejiao that the hospital bought is more than 1,000, 250g. Wrap the donkey-hide glue with a cloth, and then use the back of a knife to break the donkey-hide glue.
2.
Prepare rice wine
3.
Soak donkey-hide gelatin with 500ml rice wine, soak for 24 hours, and seal with plastic wrap to prevent alcohol from evaporating
4.
During this period, keep stirring, because the donkey-hide gelatin will stick to the bowl, until the donkey-hide gelatin is completely melted, can you start to boil it, so as to ensure its effect.
5.
Fry the sesame seeds in advance, turn off the heat when the aroma comes out, so as not to mash.
6.
Stir-fry the walnuts in the same way, remember to use a medium to low heat, it is easy to paste.
7.
Next, prepare the weighed longan, wolfberry, and red dates. Cut these materials into small pieces as much as possible, which can save a lot of effort for the final slicing.

Same as above

When Ejiao is completely transformed, you can start to boil it. Note: You must use stainless steel or ceramic pots to boil Ejiao. You can't use iron or aluminum alloy pots, and you must use a larger pot to open it. Put about 150ml of rice wine first, boil it, put in the soaked donkey-hide gelatin, use a medium-to-small fire, the low fire my mother has always used, and constantly stir with a wooden spoon during this period.
11.
The stirring speed should be increased when bubbles start to pop in the pan, because it is really easy to batter.
12.
Seeing that the flag is hung on the spatula, it means that you are done well, so I have a sense of accomplishment! ! ! Next, add wolfberry, red dates, longan, walnuts, and sesame seeds in turn. Add the same, mix well and add the same. Remember to add the walnuts second to last, so that the walnuts will be crispy, and the sesame seeds will be added last. Don't turn off the heat at this time, and put the donkey-hide gelatin cake on the plate while stirring. The pot keeps a certain degree of heat, which makes it easier to not stick the pot.
13.
The oven tray I use is put on top of non-stick paper for making bread, and brushed with sesame oil (so that it is not sticky at all). After putting the donkey-hide gelatin cake on the plate, press it quickly while it is hot, and don't rub it.

Same as above
15.
Look at my mother's fat hands, haha!
16.
That's it after pressing. Cover it with plastic wrap, kitchen blotting paper, etc., and then put it on the balcony to dry. Now at this temperature, it will be completely cold overnight.
17.
It can be sliced the next day. This is a personal effort, which is hard enough! Because it is very hard, we added too much material, haha!
18.
After cutting, wrap it with this glutinous rice paper, then put it into a vacuum bag for biscuits, and finally seal it with a sealing machine. It can be stored for a long time, just like making biscuits. In the future, you can bring a small bag to eat every day~~~~
19.
These materials are very cheap to buy on Taobao. Anyway, they will be made every year in the future and can be prepared.
