150g Maltose
150g Walnut Meat
20g Vegetable Oil
18g Cassava Flour
30g Cold Water
one gram Salt

Walnut Jujube Cake

1. The ingredients are ready.

2. After the red dates are washed and pitted, I have a good recipe for pitting. Put the red dates on the hole in the steaming grid and use chopsticks to pinch the black spots on the buttocks of the red dates. The pits are easily removed. Nuclear is very simple and fast.

3. Add 2 times the amount of water to the pitted red dates meat and cook.

4. Knead the cooked red dates into the wall breaker and beat them into puree. The amount of water added to the jujube puree is limited by the wall-breaking function. Don't add too much water to the jujube puree, otherwise the water content of the jujube puree is too high and the frying time will be longer.

5. If the jujube mud beaten by the wall-breaking machine is fine enough, even though the taste of the finished product is not affected by the sieve, the appearance will be affected. However, the color of the red jujube walnut cake fryed by the sieve will be darker, and the color after sieving will be amber. It looks more transparent.

6. Put the raw walnuts into the oven, and roast them at 180 degrees for about 10 minutes. It is best to watch them when they are roasted. The surface of the walnuts will turn yellow and color.
The roasted walnut meat does not need to be crushed, and the taste will be better.

7. Tapioca starch is mixed with salt, then add cold water and stir to form a uniform paste. After all the ingredients are ready, you can start to fry the jujube puree.

8. Pour the jujube puree and maltose into a non-stick pan, and fry them slowly over a medium-to-low heat. During the process, stir them with a spatula continuously to avoid muddy bottom.

9. When the water is almost dry, pour in water starch and corn oil. The starch will sink to the bottom. When adding it, stir it evenly and then pour it in.

10. Continue to stir-fry with a spatula until the jujube paste becomes a ball. The state is a bit like fried bean paste filling. When frying, you can feel the resistance of the spatula. The jujube paste is basically not sticking to the spatula, which means it is done. I spent about 40 minutes for the entire frying time. The firepower is different. The time is for reference only.

11. After the jujube paste is fried, turn off the heat, pour the walnuts into the jujube paste and stir evenly with a spatula.
Make every piece of walnut meat sticky with jujube puree.

12. Pour the fried walnut and jujube puree into a non-stick baking pan covered with greased paper for shaping, fold it again with a spatula and continue to knead it evenly to make the walnuts and walnuts adhere better without leaving any gaps.

13. Reverse the excess oil paper to cover the walnut cake, and use a spatula to smooth the surface. Put it in the refrigerator for two hours.

14. After the jujube cake is completely cooled, cut it into pieces (hot cutting is easy to stick to a knife), cut into nougat size, cover the surface with a layer of glutinous rice paper, and then put it in a machine-sealed bag and seal it for storage.
The sweet, no-added red date walnut cake has a rich jujube fragrance and a particularly good taste.

Tips:
The amount of red dates in the formula refers to the weight of dry dates that have not been pitted.
If there is no tapioca starch, it can be replaced with corn starch, but the taste of the finished product will not be so Q.
You must use a non-stick pan for frying jujube mash, and all preparations must be done in advance. When frying, you must completely stand by the pan and keep frying, and there is no time to do other things. The whole process of frying the jujube paste is done with a medium-to-small fire, and the water is slowly sautéed until it evaporates. Do not turn on a high fire.
