Composition:
Red beans150g, water chestnut powder100g, 30g of sugar and 800ml of clear water.
Steps:
Step 1: Because the red beans we bought are basically dry, and the hardness of the dried red beans is relatively high, we should put the red beans in the soup basin one night in advance, add fresh water that has not eaten the red beans, soak the red beans one night in advance and cook them the next day, which can save a lot of time!
Step 2: Wash the soaked red beans the next day, then add 600 ml of clear water, put them into the pot together, add 30 g of white sugar (brown sugar or rock sugar is also acceptable), after boiling over high fire, turn to low heat for 1 hour, and thoroughly cook the red beans until they bloom.
Step 3: In the process of boiling red beans, prepare a large soup bowl, add 100g water caltrop powder, then add 200ml water, stir well, and it is best to sieve after stirring well, because water caltrop powder generally has many particles, and the purpose of sieving is to melt these particles.
Step 4: After the red beans are cooked, the red bean soup in the pot is about 400 ml. While stirring with a spatula, pour in the mixed water of horseshoe powder. After drinking the water of horseshoe powder, continue to heat and stir until it becomes transparent and viscous red bean paste, and then turn off the heat.
Step 5: Prepare a square fresh-keeping box, then transfer the cooked red bean paste to the fresh-keeping box, then smooth it with a wooden shovel, let it cool, then cover it, put it in the refrigerator, refrigerate for one hour and solidify.
Step 6: After the red bean cake is solidified, take it out of the refrigerator, then release the mold backwards, put it on the chopping block, cut it into small squares, and then put it on the plate.
Tip:
If you cook raw red beans, steam them in a steamer for a while, at least 50 minutes, to ensure that they are cooked and avoid being caught.
