Autumn is the best season to eat chestnuts. Eating chestnuts at this time is not only delicious, but also very affordable. Chestnuts like ours cost only four yuan a catty, which is a good deal. There are many ways to eat chestnuts. For example, the common sugar-fried chestnuts are a little expensive to buy in the street. A catty costs at least twenty or thirty yuan, but it's much cheaper to make it yourself. I always buy chestnuts for eight dollars today.
Prepare two to three catties of chestnuts first and clean them. Choose chestnuts that feel a little soft, so they are almost rotten. Choose chestnuts that feel hard, so they are good and fresh, and there are no rotten fruits.
There's another way to change knives. Many people will cut a cross knife when changing knives, and some people will change knives vertically. But I personally suggest that chestnuts should be changed horizontally and cut deeper so that you can see the meat inside.
The method is simple. Put the cut chestnuts into the rice cooker, and add an appropriate amount of edible water, as long as it just covers the chestnuts, not too much.
We can add some sugar or rock sugar to it, and decide how much sugar to put according to our sweet taste, and add a spoonful of cooking oil, because chestnuts with oil will not stick together when peeled, and sometimes when you eat raw chestnuts, you will find that there is a layer of chestnut skin on them, which is particularly difficult to peel, so this feeling does not exist after oiling, and such chestnuts are delicious when cooked.
In order to make chestnut taste better and sweeter, you can add a little dried jujube slices in it, because the taste of dried jujube slices is blended with chestnut, and it tastes particularly sweet.
Just press the rice button directly with the rice cooker that usually cooks, just like cooking until it is cooked.
When the chestnuts are ripe, open the lid directly, and almost all chestnuts are open. Moreover, this chestnut is ripe and tastes soft and waxy, with a special aftertaste.
Tip: Actually, it is very simple to make this sugar-fried chestnut. You just need to remember that when you open the shell, you must open it horizontally and cut it deeper, which will make it easier to peel it. Remember not to have too much water when cooking, just cover the chestnuts.
Is this method of frying chestnuts with sugar very simple? I believe you can learn it by watching it once. If there are fresh chestnuts there now, try them quickly. It's better than those sold on the street.
