I don't know if Ejiao was cooked in water before you washed it with boiling water. Ejiao should not be fried directly, but must be steamed with water alone.
The correct way to eat Ejiao is to rinse half a catty of Ejiao with clear water, grind it into fine powder, put it in a big bowl, add half a cup of water and half a cup of yellow wine, and then put it in a pot for boiling. When it begins to melt, add 200 grams of rock sugar and stir with chopsticks to make it dissolve evenly. After cooling, it will become a soft candy-like semi-solid, cut into 20 pieces and eat on an empty stomach every day 1 piece. This method is suitable for regulating menstruation, contraception, nourishing blood and enriching blood in blood deficiency syndrome.
