before the formal production, we need to prepare the following ingredients: 6 horseshoes, 15g of horseshoe powder, 5g of brown sugar and 8g of clean water.
Step 1: After cleaning the horseshoes, remove the skin of the horseshoes with a knife, take out the meat of the horseshoes, then gently flatten the horseshoes with a knife, chop them a few times, and then put them on a plate for later use! Note: Horseshoe should not be chopped too much. It should keep the graininess of soybean size, so that it will taste better. If chopped too much, it will taste like slag, and the finished product will not look good at the same time!
Step 2: First, put 15g of water chestnut powder into the soup basin, add 2ml of clear water, stir well, and make it into powder water. Because there are many particles in water chestnut powder, it is suggested that you pass through a dense sieve when making the powder water, so that there will be no particles in the finished product. Then, divide the prepared water chestnut powder into two parts at a ratio of 1:1! Then add 6 ml of water to the pot, add a piece of red sugar, and boil it over high fire. First, melt the red sugar!
Step 3: After the brown sugar is boiled, put the horseshoe into the pot, cover it, and after boiling over high fire, turn it to low fire for 5 minutes, and cook the horseshoe until it smells good. After cooking, pour in half the water of horseshoe powder, stir with a spatula, and heat until the water of horseshoe sugar becomes thick and transparent!
Step 4: Pour the boiled water chestnut syrup into the soup basin filled with the other half of water chestnut powder, then stir it evenly with a spoon, then transfer it to a thin plate with a flat bottom and gently shake it flat!
Step 5: Take out the steamer. After the steamer is started, put the plate with horseshoe paste into the steamer, steam it for 3 minutes on high fire, take it out after steaming, and naturally cool it to solidify. But it takes a long time to cool naturally. You can also wait for it to stop scalding, wrap it in plastic wrap, put it in the refrigerator for 1 hour, then take it out and cut it into small pieces, and you can eat it!
