The nutritional value of chestnuts is very high, so when the harvest season comes, many people will buy them and eat them. Whether they are stir-fried with sugar, stewed chicken, or stewed pork ribs, they are very nutritious and delicious. I will share them today. A simple and delicious way to cook chestnuts for lazy people:
Don’t add oil and sugar to stir-fry chestnuts. I’ll teach you how to make them. It’s fragrant, sweet and easy to peel. It’s so simple!
Prepare ingredients: chestnut honey
1. After buying the chestnuts, if you are not in a hurry to eat them, dry them for about 2 to 3 days. After the chestnuts are dried, they will be easier to peel. And it tastes sweeter.
Then rinse the chestnuts and pick out the ones with insect eyes. Then put the flat side of the chestnut down and the semicircle side up. According to your own ability, use a knife to cut vertically into "1" shapes. If the knife skills are good enough, cut it into a "ten" shape. The cross shape is easier to taste and easier to peel, but it is really not easy to cut. I always put it on the chopping board without using my hands, and cut it vertically. Use l to chop lightly with a knife, so that it is not easy to hurt your hands. You can also use a smaller knife to cut gently. Be careful, too much force will directly break the chestnut in half.
2. Take a large bowl, add 2 tablespoons of honey, then add an appropriate amount of 60-degree warm water and stir to dissolve. Then pour in the chopped chestnuts and soak them for half an hour. The chestnuts soaked in honey water will be more delicious. Sweet and delicious.
3. After half an hour, open the electric baking pan. No need to preheat or add oil. Pour in the soaked chestnuts, and then pour some of the honey water soaked in the chestnuts, not all of it. The height of the honey water should reach about one-fifth of the height of the chestnuts, then cover and simmer for 4 minutes.
4. After four minutes, we open the lid and stir-fry to let the chestnuts heat evenly, then close the lid and simmer for 4 minutes. When the time is up, the honey water will be dried, and the chestnut shell will split along the cutting edge. It is very delicious and easy to peel.
