Boiled savory chestnuts

Overview

When I was shopping for groceries in the morning, I saw this round chestnut on sale at a fruit stall for 18 yuan per catty. It’s good to buy them and cook them as snacks, but don’t eat too many chestnuts. Eating too many chestnuts can lead to flatulence and indigestion. Two or three at a time is enough.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Clean the chestnuts.

   

2. 2 Use a knife to cut a small slit in the middle of the chestnut skin (be careful and pay attention to safety in this step, the chestnut will bounce, so be careful. It is best to use a walnut clip to fix the chestnut, place it on the cutting board, and then use the tip of the knife to make a small slit)

   

3. 3 Put 4-5 bowls of water in the pot, pour in the chestnuts, add a spoonful of salt, cover the pot and cook over high heat for 20 minutes.

   

4. 4 Boil until the water is almost dry, then scoop out the chestnuts.

   

5. 5 Soak in ice water for 10 seconds and quickly pick it up. Using the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the chestnuts can be peeled smoothly.
