Winter melon strips for me have too many memories, when I was a child my parents worked in Guangdong, I followed the school there, in 98 Years Guangdong was very popular to eat winter melon strips, I liked the soft, sticky, sweet, ice taste of the winter melon strip meat, after my parents gave pocket money, I would go to buy it, and I felt very happy after eating it in my mouth. Some time ago I went to Guangdong again, but winter melon strips seem to be difficult to buy, it is difficult to find in a small shop near the school, I bought a lot. After coming back, I always want to make it myself, consult some books, I made it at home a few times, and finally let me successfully make that taste, today I want to share the steps of making winter melon strips to everyone, if there are friends who like to eat it like me, you can collect it!
Fees:
Winter melon (old winter melon, the more 1000 grams old the better), sugar more than 500 grams, edible quicklime a number.
Step 1
Cut the winter melon well, try to cut it as large as possible, one point five centimeters wide and six centimeters long. Soak in water and edible quicklime at a concentration of 200:1, and then soak the winter melon in it for about ten hours.
Step 2
After the winter melon is soaked, it needs to be soaked in water. And change the water every two hours, the purpose is to remove the lime water smell in front.
Step 3
When there is basically no lime water smell in the winter melon, you can put the winter melon strips into the pot, then add water, boil on high heat, boil for about five minutes, and then fish out the winter melon strips and put them into cold water to cool down as soon as possible. At this time, you will find that the color of the winter melon becomes a little transparent after being rinsed in cold water.
Less suddenly 4
Put the cooled winter melon strips in a container, pour in the appropriate amount of water, and ferment naturally for 10 hours.
Step 5
When the time comes, drain the winter melon strips, lay out a layer of winter melon strips and layer of sugar, and wait until the sugar is all melted and the winter melon water comes out, which takes about three hours.
Step 6
Then pour the winter melon and the soaked water into the washed pot without oil. Bring to a boil over high heat before turning to medium heat. When the water inside is less than half of the heat, and you need to constantly turn the winter melon strips in the pot, the sugar will slowly form particles.
Step 7
Seeing the crystallization of the sugar coming out of the winter melon strips, there is no liquid in the pot, you can turn off the heat. Stir for a while and you will see the sugar crystals slowly coming out. In this way, the winter melon strips are ready.
After the winter melon strips are ready, take a bite, sweet, soft, sticky, ice, really delicious. However, winter melon strips are not suitable for children who are too small to eat, after all, they are sweet, and too small children's teeth cannot stand it. I don't know why people are getting older and more nostalgic for the past, when eating a little winter melon strips felt very happy, and now it is difficult to feel this way. Therefore, Xiaobian hopes that those who have low happiness will recall their childhood and find the delicacies that impressed them at that time, so as to obtain happiness in the delicacies.
