There are two ways to make amaranth cake, one of which is to use amaranth as the main ingredient and make it into a cake. First chop the amaranth, then mix it with a small amount of flour, season with salt and make a vegetable dough. Next, large pieces of the dough are pinched together to form a single patty, which is then steamed in a pan. The second type of vegetable cake is to use flour as the crust and amaranth as the filling. Chop the amaranth and mix it with minced meat and season with salt, sesame oil, chili pepper, and thirteen spices, and then pack it into the risen dough to make a one by one pie. The crust of the pie should be thin and take the pot sticker way of cooking.
Amaranth can be used both fresh and sun-dried to make patties. But the sunshine method of dried amaranth is delicate, you need to blanch first, and then cool water, and then pinch with your hands vigorously, squeeze out the water in the amaranth, and then put into the sun. Stronger summer sun only need to be exposed to the sun for a day, the sun is not very strong in the fall and winter sunshine for about 3 days can be, sun-dried need to be placed in a ventilated dry place.
