Although the external environment is hot and dry in summer, only the hot air on the surface is dispersed blindly, and the wet and cold will be deposited in the body. If it is not conditioned as soon as possible, it will easily cause damage to our health. This is also the reason why many Chinese medicine practitioners and the elderly often remind us to eat less cold drinks and more ginger in summer.

Ginger, unique gingerol and gingerol are the most important ingredients for warming up heat and dispelling cold, which can effectively protect and regulate the gastrointestinal organs damaged by eating raw and cold food. In addition, ginger has the functions of promoting blood circulation, sterilizing and stimulating intestinal peristalsis, which can prevent and relieve intestinal discomfort that frequently occurs in summer.

There are many ways to eat ginger. With the increasing awareness of people's diet, ginger, a cheap and efficient natural "health care product" around us, has also been made into various foods. It's a waste to use it as seasoning. Ginger tea, ginger vinegar, ginger sugar and so on emerge in endlessly. Today, I'll bring you a ginger, red dates and brown sugar paste. It's convenient to drink after taking out two spoonfuls of water.

Name of the dish: ginger, brown sugar and jujube paste

Ingredients required: ginger 1.5 kg, 800 g of brown sugar, red dates 1 kg, and appropriate amount of water.

Cooking process:

1. Choose a large piece of spicy old ginger, soak it in clear water for a while, then carefully brush the surface of the old ginger with a soft brush and cut it into thick ginger slices for later use.

2. Choose fresh jujube with full head, ruddy color and thick meat, rinse it with clear water, control excess water, cut the jujube open with a knife, dig out the jujube pit and cut it into blocks for later use.

3. Put the cut thick ginger slices into a cooking machine or blender, pour a small amount of clear water, start the stirring procedure, and crush the ginger slices into fine and dry ginger paste for later use.

4. Put the red dates into a cooking machine or blender. Like the operation of ginger paste, the red dates are crushed into fine and dry red date paste for use.

5. Pour the prepared ginger paste and jujube paste into the inner container of the bread maker, and then pour a proper amount of brown sugar into the inner container of the bread maker. (If there are chunks of brown sugar, it's best to mash them all. )

6. Start the "stir-frying" program on the bread machine and adjust it according to the water content of the material. The program time is about two hours, until the materials in the pot are evenly stirred, the water is dry and becomes a sticky paste.

7. Take out the finished ginger, brown sugar and red jujube paste, naturally dissipate heat at room temperature, thoroughly cool, put it in a clean glass container, seal it, store it in cold storage and drink it with water.

Cooking skills:

1. If there is no bread machine at home, you can use a non-stick pan (don't fry it in an iron pan) for daily cooking. When cooking, always use medium-low fire and stir constantly to prevent the pan from burning. No matter what pot you use, the fried ginger, brown sugar and red jujube paste are finally scooped up with a spoon, indicating that it is fried. If it falls off easily, it needs to be fried again.

2, control the amount of ingredients, it is best not to do too much at a time, because our homemade ginger, brown sugar and jujube paste does not contain any additives, so the shelf life is limited and it is not suitable for storage for too long. Always use a clean and dry spoon every time you take it to prevent water and oil from entering and causing corruption.

3. If you want to make the red dates more fragrant and smoother, you can put the washed and pitted red dates into the boiling water pot to cook them in advance. Jujube puree made of cooked dates tastes sweeter, and fried ginger jujube puree is more delicate and smooth.
