Step 1: after cleaning the horseshoe, remove the skin of the horseshoe with a knife, take out the horseshoe meat, pat the horseshoe gently with a blade, chop it a few times, and then put it on a plate for later use! Note: Don't cut the horseshoe too much. It should keep the granularity of soybean size, so it will taste better. Too much chop tastes like slag, and the finished product is not good-looking!
Step 2: First, put 150g water chestnut powder into a soup basin, add 200ml clean water, and stir evenly to make powder water. Because there are many particles in water chestnut powder, it is suggested that you sift through the dense sieve when making powder water, so that there will be no particles in the finished product. Then divide the prepared water chestnut powder into two parts according to the ratio of 1: 1. Then add 600 ml of water to the pot, add 1 piece of brown sugar, and bring to a boil. First, melt the brown sugar!
Step 3: After the brown sugar is boiled, put the horseshoe into the pot and cover it. After the fire boils, turn to low heat for 5 minutes and cook the horseshoe until it is fragrant. After cooking, pour in half the water of horseshoe powder, stir with a spatula, and heat until the water of horseshoe sugar becomes sticky and transparent!
Step 4: Pour the boiled water chestnut syrup into a soup basin filled with the other half of water chestnut powder, then stir it evenly with a spoon, and then transfer it to a thin flat-bottomed plate and shake it gently!
Step 5: Start the steamer. After the steamer is started, put the plate with horseshoe paste into the steamer, steam for 30 minutes on high fire, take it out after steaming, and naturally cool and solidify. But natural cooling takes a long time. You can also wait for it to stop scalding, wrap it in plastic wrap, put it in the refrigerator 1 hour, then take it out and cut it into small pieces, and you can eat it!
