Ingredients
Steps
-
Peel the ginger and smash it (not too finely chopped, it will be used for boiling water). Leave a little bit and chop it very finely (for keeping in the ginger candy)
-
Heat up the pot, use the lowest heat, fry the peanuts until they are slightly charred, put the peanuts in, and rub off the peanut coating with your hands or other tools.
-
Add about 2 liters of water (the picture is not enough for 2 liters of water, but it turned out later that at least more water is needed), add the chopped ginger and cook until the water boils (taste it, if you think the ginger water is not spicy enough, you can cook it longer).
-
Put four pieces of brown sugar into the ginger water and boil over high heat.
-
When the sugar slices are about half melted, add the ginger seeds and bring to a boil over high heat.
-
Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly to prevent the bottom of the pot from scorching.
-
Cook until the sugar starts to stick, then reduce to low heat.
-
When it becomes sticky, add the peanuts and stir evenly.
-
Put a bowl of cold water in a bowl and set aside. Dip the sugar in the pot with chopsticks and quickly put it into the water to cool. If it does not melt in the water and you can pull out the silk with the chopsticks, then it is OK.
-
Wash the coffee table basin in advance and disinfect it with boiling water. Sprinkle enough cold boiled water on the coffee table, pour the ginger sugar in the pot into the coffee table basin, quickly spread it out (we don't have a coffee table basin, so it is placed on the tile board, which proves to be difficult to pry open. At the same time, pat it flat with your hands, and turn on the faucet next to it. Once your hands are hot, rinse them with water immediately and continue patting. The ginger sugar will not melt in the water at this time), and then start cutting into pieces.
-
After it condenses into lumps, you can scoop it up and eat it! Put it in a box and save it as a snack. It is delicious and can warm your stomach and keep you healthy.
