First of all, chestnut should not be eaten raw. Boil chestnuts in boiling water for 5- 10 minutes, then peel and shell them, so that the chestnuts will be cooked immediately, which will make the chestnuts taste more sweet and delicious. Cooked chestnuts can also be roasted. Preheat the oven with low to medium temperature (150-200℃), manually adjust the oven power, and turn it over several times to achieve the effect of moisturizing and fragrance.
Secondly, chestnuts can be matched with other ingredients. Stewed chicken with chestnuts, roasted pigeon with chestnuts and glutinous rice with chestnuts are all good choices. Various spices such as star anise, star anise and red dates can be properly added in the cooking process to increase the fragrance and nutrients. In the process of stewing, adding some ginger slices and chopped green onion can not only remove fishy smell and enhance fragrance, but also increase the color and taste of vegetables.
Finally try to make chestnut paste. Put the cooked and peeled chestnuts into a blender, add appropriate amount of water to grind them into paste, and then add appropriate amount of sugar and milk to make a rich and sweet chestnut paste. In addition, you can add some cream and some chocolate chips to make the taste smoother and sweeter.
The above are some production methods of Qianxi chestnut. I hope you can make more delicious food through different ingredients and cooking skills.
