Hello everyone, after entering autumn, chestnuts will be on the market. Many people like to buy chestnuts at this time. Chestnut is an ingredient rich in carbohydrates and rich in starch. It is good to eat it raw, boiled, fried, stir-fried, or stewed in soup. Although chestnuts are delicious, I believe many people are reluctant to peel them. The shell of chestnut is very hard, and it will deform the shell of your fingernails every time you eat it. If you are not careful, you may injure your fingernails. So, today I am going to share with you some tips for peeling chestnuts. I learned these tips from a fruit farmer when I was buying chestnuts yesterday. Fruit farmers told me that peeling chestnuts is actually very simple. As long as you master some small methods, you can make the chestnut shells very soft. You can peel one in a second or a large pot in minutes. I also tried it myself today, and I didn’t expect the effect to be really good. Let’s take a look at how it works in detail. 1. Boiling in hot water First, we need to prepare an appropriate amount of chestnuts, and then use scissors to cut a cross on the back of the chestnuts. In this way, when peeling the chestnuts later, we can peel along the cross, which will be easier and more convenient. After cutting the chestnuts, we need to prepare an appropriate amount of water and heat the water in the pot until bubbles appear at the bottom. Then add the chestnuts to the pot and heat them over high heat. After the water in the pot boils, cook the chestnuts in boiling water for three minutes, drain the water and let them cool. After cooking, the outer shell of chestnuts will become very soft, and the chestnut meat can be peeled off quickly by just peeling it off with your hands. 2. Soaking in hot water If you eat less chestnuts, we can use hot water soaking. After preparing the chestnut, cut off part of the chestnut with the head of the knife, being careful not to cut into the chestnut meat. After cutting the chestnuts, we need to prepare an appropriate amount of hot water and add the chestnuts to the hot water. Use hot water to soak the chestnuts for about 10 minutes. 10 minutes is enough to soften the chestnut shells. Finally, carefully peel the shell along the head of the chestnut. You can easily peel out the chestnut meat, but be careful not to soak it for too long, otherwise the chestnut will lose its nutrients. 3. Chestnut delicacies After learning how to peel the chestnuts, I will share with you my favorite chestnut delicacies. Friends who like to eat chestnuts, come and learn it together. 1. First prepare a small piece of pork belly. Cut the prepared pork belly into pieces, put it into a pot with cold water, and add ginger slices and green onion segments to blanch it. Blanch it over high heat for 5 minutes. After the blood foam in the pork belly is completely blanched, drain it out and set aside. 2.
