Brown sugar ginger jujube paste

Overview

For thirty-nine days, it was freezing cold. Women with weak bodies are even more afraid of the cold, and cold hands and feet are common. Women with cold constitutions must warm up in winter. Today's ginger and jujube ointment is especially suitable for use in winter. The ingredients are easy to obtain and the method is simple. You can make it for a month at a time, which is also very convenient. Because a little dried red dates are added, the aftertaste is slightly jujube, and it also neutralizes part of the spiciness of ginger. The taste is much better, and even friends who don't like ginger can basically accept it. Another advantage is that ginger can replenish qi. Adding a little red date to replenish blood makes this ginger-date paste achieve the effect of replenishing qi and blood under the leadership of ginger. For those of you who have a cold constitution like me, why not make some for yourself!

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Let’s talk about the ginger we chose today. The famous Lushan ginger from Henan is used. This kind of ginger is not big in size but has a strong flavor. It has always been a famous product in Henan and is usually difficult to buy here. I saw it in the supermarket today and bought a few kilograms without hesitation. Compare it with ordinary ginger. It is much smaller than ordinary ginger. But it is much firmer than ordinary ginger.

   

2. 2 Weigh the raw materials. The handmade bowl-type brown sugar produced in Yunnan can also be replaced with ordinary brown sugar. Red dates are made from dried dates. In order to facilitate the powdering, the paste made in this way is more delicate.

   

3. 3 Wash, peel and cut the ginger into small pieces

   

4. 4 First use a wall breaking machine to grind the dried red dates into powder and take them out for later use.

   

5. 5 Directly put the ginger pieces into the wall breaking machine, add water, and use the sauce function to make a paste. In this way, the remaining jujube powder inside can also be easily absorbed into the ginger paste, so there is no waste at all.

   

6. 6 Pour the ginger paste into a thick-bottomed stainless steel pot, add brown sugar and cook over medium heat

   

7. 7 Cook until brown sugar dissolves, add jujube powder and continue cooking

   

8. 8 When the paste becomes thick, turn to low heat and continue to simmer, stirring constantly to avoid burning the pot. When cooking in winter, it will be very misty when taking photos.

   

9. 9 Until the paste is very thick and can't be stirred, that's it.

   

10. 10 It won't slip when you use a shovel to shovel it upright. This kind of ginger-date paste contains very little water, so if you put it in a clean container, it won't go bad if you eat it for a month or two. If it contains too much moisture, it will break easily.
