The method of pea cake

There are three ways to make pea cakes:

Ingredients: 500 grams of white peas, 400 grams of high-quality persimmons, 250 grams of white sugar, 50 grams of green and red silk, a little alkaline noodles, essence water and beige food pigment.

Method 1

1. First, grind peas into petal residue, clean the bean skin with a dustpan and wash it. Add 2000 grams of water to a large wok, bring to a boil, and then pour in peas and alkaline noodles. After the wok is boiled, skim the floating foam, simmer with slow fire, cook the peas into a paste with warm fire, add food pigment and150g sugar, and mix well with a wooden stick.

2. Uncover the persimmon, cut it into 2-3 cm thick pieces, spread it in a large enamel basin, place it in a symbolic pattern, sprinkle a layer of green and red silk, pour in a layer of cooked pea sauce, put another layer of persimmon, and then pour in a layer of pea sauce, so that the persimmon and bean sauce will be used up and cooled and solidified (preferably in the refrigerator). When eating, turn it over on the chopping board, cut it into pieces with a stainless steel knife, put it on a plate, and sprinkle with snowflake sugar and essence water.

Method 2

Grind peas, simmer into paste, add saccharin and food coloring, and stir well. Take another persimmon, cut it into thin slices, put it in a container, sprinkle with a layer of green and red silk and a layer of pea sauce. Sprinkle several layers in turn, and then let it cool. Concentrate and eat. When eating, cut into pieces and put them on a plate. Drop a little snowflake sugar and essence water. Reduce fire, clear mouth and throat, and make muscles sweet. This is summer food.

Method 3

1. Take peeled peas and soak them in cold water for 4-5 hours. Boil the yellow gardenia syrup.

2. Boil the soaked peas in a pot, add about 3 grams of baking soda (baking soda will make peas easier to boil), and the water should not exceed one finger of peas. When cooking, pay attention to remove the floating foam, add the cooked gardenia yellow sugar to the pot several times until the peas are sticky, and stir with a spoon to shape (too much water will affect the solidification). Brush the oil in the mold, pour it into the mold while it is hot, and then put it in the refrigerator or cool it at room temperature.

Matters needing attention in making pea cake:

1. If there is too much water, you need to bake the pea with baking soda or other starch at this time. After mixing, there can be a certain connection, and then it can be blocked. Of course, if you are afraid of scattering when cooking in the future, you can add some white vinegar or hay or something like that.

2. Do not use iron tools for making pea cakes to ensure that pea cakes do not change color and taste.

3. If you use a cooking machine to break peas to make pea cakes, you need to soak the peas thoroughly, cook them and then grind them. Peas are easy to boil into paste after grinding, but the fine particles are not ripe, which will lead to poor solidification and poor taste.
