How to cook Chinese chestnut? It's time to eat Chinese chestnut again. I always like to buy some sugar fried chestnuts to eat back. Although they are delicious, the boiled chestnuts have a different flavor. The chestnuts themselves are very sweet. Even if they are cooked a little, they are delicious and have a chestnut taste.
But cook chestnuts at home, how to cook them?
Some people choose to steam, but I like to cook. I've tried to cook the chestnuts in cold water and hot water. The chestnuts are totally two flavors, or they are delicious in hot water. You can experiment and see that there are great differences
First boil the water, turn off the fire, put the raw chestnuts in hot water and simmer for 15 minutes, then take them out after soaking, and then soak them in cold water, so as to peel the chestnuts
So how to cook chestnut?
After the chestnuts have passed the cold water, use a knife to draw a knife on each chestnuts. It should be deeper. When you see the pulp is the main part, put the chestnuts into the boiling water. The amount of water should not exceed the chestnuts, and then put them into the pressure cooker. I use the electric pressure cooker and the set cooking function (if there is no electric pressure cooker, you can also use gas to cook, but it takes a lot of time.)
If the cooked chestnut is still not easy to peel, you can wait for the chestnut to cool and then put it in the refrigerator freezer layer, put it out for a while, and it's cold, not frozen, delicious and easy to peel
