The old way to eat pumpkin, dried pumpkin in the sun, more chewy than beef jerky, try it

Dried pumpkin

1. First of all, I bought a ripe old pumpkin. The skin is peeled off and then cut into thin slices with a thickness of about 5 mm. Choose to dry it in the sun until it is dry.

2. That's it for a sun-dried look. After drying, wash it with water.

3. Next, you can boil the water and steam it in a pot for about 5 minutes. Don't take too long.

4. Let's mix a batter first. Add chili noodles to the bowl (if you like that degree of spiciness, add which spicy it is, or you can not add it), a small spoon of sugar, a small spoon of salt, and add some cooked white sesame seeds, and glutinous rice flour (the amount of glutinous rice flour, you can wrap the pumpkin slices, don't add too much, it will be hard when dried), and finally add a few drops of light soy sauce for coloring. Stir well and it's OK.

5. Then, pour the steamed pumpkin slices into the batter and stir well so that each pumpkin slice is coated with a thin layer of glutinous rice paste.

6, and then you can steam it in the pot, this time you have to steam the glutinous rice paste thoroughly.

7. This is what it looks like when it is steamed. At this point, there are two ways to do it, you can directly take it apart and dry it. If you're a bit obsessive-compulsive like me and like to be square, keep watching.

8, followed by steps 7, after steaming, you can use chopsticks to pick up a small ball, a small ball, and dry it separately. Until it dries in the sun, and the dryness is hard enough to be able to bite it. About 9 percent dry.

9. If you like a square one, spread it in a square mold while it is hot, put a layer of oil paper on it and press it firmly, or you can roll it with a rolling pin.

10. After rolling, send it to the oven at the lowest temperature and the longest time, and bake to set the shape.

11, it has been finalized.

12. You can cut it into strips, cut it into pieces and dry it. If you have a dryer at home, it is even more convenient to do this. If not, be sure to choose the weather with a high sun for several days in a row. Otherwise, it is easy to get moldy.
