How to eat water chestnut?

I didn't know what it was when I first ate it, so I was captured by its sweet and crisp taste. I've never eaten horseshoes or anything like that. Whether it is mashed or cooked in soup for a long time, it will keep this crisp taste, which fascinates me when I eat it.

There are many ways to eat water chestnut: making soup, cooking and making dumpling stuffing are all delicious. My favorite way is to make soup and cakes. Here are some ways:

This soup was made for me by my family when I first arrived in Guangdong. Due to climatic reasons, Cantonese people have the habit of keeping in good health by boiling soup. In our hometown, there is no habit of making soup at all. I looked at the clear soup and even worried too little. How can I drink it? But after one sip, I was defeated. The soup tastes sweet, without fishy smell, not greasy, and the crisp, sweet and delicious horseshoes make the whole soup refreshing.

3. Finally, add salt to taste.

Horseshoe chicken soup can not only clear fire, but also make up deficiency. The point is that it is delicious, too. Because the horseshoe itself is very sweet, it will be sweet without jujube soup.

This sweet soup is also my favorite. It's easy to cook and delicious. The key is that the whole soup is very cool and moist, giving people a sense of beauty, and it will feel beautiful after drinking it.

As a result, buy buy bought it, eating it while walking with the edge in his hand, an entrance. Hahaha! Steal the beam and replace the column. It's not that I personally admire Yang's flattery, but that I really think the water chestnut I ate before is not the same as the water chestnut I ate in Yangzhou!
