In the process of taking Ejiao cake, we should also pay attention to our living habits, pay attention to going to bed early and getting up early, keep exercising, pay attention to the balanced collocation of daily diet and nutrition, and don't smoke, drink or stay up late.

2. Experience in making Ejiao cake

Tell me why I'm cooking gelatin again-I've been anemic since I gave birth. In my early years, I received many treatments and nutrition. I really didn't eat less Ejiao and Ejiao products, which made me "disgusting".

I thought I was in good health these years, so I ignored it. Who knows that "I had a physical examination" actually developed into moderate anemia. A lot, in addition to treatment, food supplements have to keep up.

So I made a donkey-hide gelatin cake. Ejiao is a "national treasure", and its medicinal and health care values need not be described in detail; Ejiao cake, also known as Guyuan paste, is made of Ejiao as the ingredient. From the name, we can know that it has the effects of nourishing the body, consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan, and nourishing and maintaining.

Colla Corii Asini boiled with yellow wine, with walnut, jujube, black sesame, rock sugar and other ingredients, not only improves the efficacy of Colla Corii Asini, but also increases its nutritional value. At the same time, it tastes rich, sweet and palatable, and is deeply loved by all people, especially female friends-it is no exaggeration to call it a "national treasure" tonic. Some people think that Ejiao cake can only be eaten in winter, and it will get angry when eaten in spring and summer.

In fact, Ejiao cake can be eaten all year round. First of all, the content of Ejiao in Ejiao cake is not much, and there is not much anger in the balance of compatible rock sugar; Secondly, eating Ejiao cake in spring and summer can be reduced appropriately; Third, everyone has different constitutions. If people who eat donkey-hide gelatin cakes get angry in spring and summer, they may not get angry in winter.

This round of tonic war has been going on for more than a week. Today we will look at the problem of homemade Ejiao cake. Let's take a look at my heart from the recipe to the production-let's take a look at this basic recipe-half a catty of donkey-hide gelatin (750g) (winter 1 kg), 2kg of yellow rice wine (1000g), black sesame 1 kg (500g) and walnut kernel1kg. Insomnia: add 50g to 100g Ziziphus jujuba seed to taste: the amount of rock sugar can be slightly reduced according to the taste, so don't add any more, it is already very sweet; Rose sauce and osmanthus fragrans can also be appropriately added to adjust different tastes.

If this basic formula is used to make Ejiao cake, its advantages are as follows: first, the amount of Ejiao is different in winter and summer; Secondly, the ingredients are increased or decreased according to different needs, which is suitable for all kinds of people. Its disadvantage is that the amount of yellow wine is too large.

Adjust it appropriately. My general practice is to keep the weight of basic ingredients such as donkey-hide gelatin at 1: 1, and leave room for adding other auxiliary materials and seasonings, and the formula is easy to remember. It can be seen from this basic formula that half a catty of donkey-hide gelatin can make at least seven catties of donkey-hide gelatin cake. Eat one or two tablets a day, but actually eat very little donkey-hide gelatin.

If I make Ejiao cake into a commodity, I will not increase the amount of Ejiao in winter and summer, but will increase the amount of liquid. If I can't make the paste, I will add edible gelatin (I am a conscientious businessman and don't use industrial gelatin), and other ingredients don't have to be of high quality, so it's called cost reduction. Moreover, once the amount of liquid medicine is increased, the amount of other ingredients can also be increased within a proper range, and the amount of cakes per catty of Ejiao will be greater, and the prices of yellow wine and ingredients can also be sold more.

Ejiao cakes made at home, including those processed by some specialty stores and supermarkets for customers free of charge, are not as rich in flavor as some finished products on the market-is there wood? ! Secondly, look at the practice: Practice 1: Boiling: grind Ejiao into powder, bake sesame seeds, break other ingredients, add yellow wine after mixing, mix well, put it in a large pot or stew, steam in a steamer for 15 minutes, turn to low heat 1 2 hours, and steam thoroughly; The cauldron or stew should be covered with plastic packaging or cover to prevent steam from dripping. This is a very worry-free approach and a way to give full play to the efficacy.

When I first adopted this method, I felt that there was a disadvantage, that is, the taste of yellow rice wine was not completely volatile, and the taste was relatively strong, which was not to my taste. If you don't mind the taste of yellow rice wine, this is the best way to make Ejiao cake.

Method 2-Direct Boiling: Grind Ejiao into powder, add yellow wine and crystal sugar, directly put it in the pot and boil it until the crystal sugar of Ejiao melts, and then add other ingredients to boil it thoroughly. This method is very fast, so many on-site processing services basically adopt this method.

The disadvantages are-first, the blending time of Ejiao and yellow wine is too short, and the efficacy may not be fully exerted. It would be better to add a soaking link; Secondly, the heat is difficult to grasp and easy to boil. Once burnt, even a little, it will not only affect the taste, but also affect the efficacy. Practice 3-waterproof cooking: it concentrates the advantages of the above two methods. Ejiao is fully soaked in yellow wine, slowly boiled in warm water, and other ingredients are added in turn until it is completely boiled.

This is the method I have used recently. Its advantages are that it will not boil, will not leave too strong yellow wine flavor, and its efficacy can be fully exerted; Its disadvantage is that it is a little troublesome.

Don't be afraid of trouble, you can often get the best results. Let's look at my formula and method ——————————————————————————————— Seal it with plastic wrap and soak it for half a day to a day until the donkey-hide gelatin is completely softened (there is a formula that says it is completely melted). According to my experience, even if you soak for two days, you can't "melt" all of it, but only part of it melts and part of it stays at the bottom. 3, old rock sugar (preferably yellow rock sugar) smashed into the end, the more broken the better; 4. Wash the jujube, control the moisture, remove the core and cut into thin slices; 5. Keep walnut kernels, preferably walnuts that have just been shelled; 6. Dry-bake black sesame seeds with low fire until cooked, and let them cool for later use; 7. Take a large pot and sit in the water to boil; Put rice wine and soft donkey-hide gelatin into a heat-resistant steel basin, sit in boiling water, and stir constantly while heating to understand all the donkey-hide gelatin.

3. Why is it soft to make Ejiao cake?

Maybe you put too much water when cooking, or you haven't cooked for long enough. Ejiao itself does not form a paste, and Ejiao cake will soften in summer.

The following is the production method of Ejiao cake: main ingredients: Ejiao, walnut, jujube (dried), Lycium barbarum, black sesame, rock sugar and rose petals. Seasoning: appropriate amount of yellow wine. Step: 1. First of all, you need to break the donkey-hide gelatin with the back of a knife and put it in a basin for later use. 2. Then, all the donkey-hide gelatin is broken and put into a large pot, and the yellow wine is poured into it to soak for two days.

3. After soaking for a day and a half, pour a proper amount of rock sugar into the basin and let it open naturally, so you don't have to be afraid of uneven taste when cooking glue. 4. Then take a proper amount of walnut kernel, wash it and dry the impurities for later use.

5. After that, you can put a proper amount of black sesame seeds in the dry pot. 6. Immediately soak a proper amount of medlar in water for half a day, and wash the impurities for later use.

7. Then rose petals are optional. I want to add some fragrance, or I can use osmanthus. 8. Next, after washing a proper amount of jujube, cut it with scissors to remove the core, as shown in the figure.

9. Next, pull out the leaves and bones at the tail of the rose petals. 10. Then pour a proper amount of yellow wine and donkey-hide gelatin into the soup pot, heat it with low fire, and constantly stir the ingredients in the pot during the heating process.

1 1. After that, the pot is boiled and bubbled, and after the donkey-hide gelatin is completely melted, it is ready to add accessories. The whole process must be stirred constantly to prevent the pot from being burnt. Then add red dates and black sesame seeds and continue stirring.

13. Then add a proper amount of walnuts. 14. Then add proper amount of Lycium barbarum and petals and mix well.

15. Immediately after all the auxiliary materials are put in, stir them evenly and turn off the fire. The viscosity of the finished product is shown in the figure. 16. Put a layer of sesame oil on the special mold, pour the boiled donkey-hide gelatin slurry while it is hot, and stir to make the bubbles in it discharge and the surface smooth.

Let it stand naturally and cool to normal temperature, and then put it in the refrigerator for one night. 17. finally, the donkey-hide gelatin is naturally solidified after cooling, and can be taken out of the mold and eaten.
