Tips

Tips:

1. There are many types of rice wine. I use the Pagoda brand, which costs 8.9 yuan and is available at the rice wine counter in the supermarket.

2. The container must be covered with plastic wrap. If the plastic wrap is too thin, it will stick to the donkey-hide gelatin cake and cannot be torn off, which would be terrible.

3. Black sesame seeds and walnut kernels must be fried over low heat, or in a microwave or oven. Remember not to burn them.

Method 2:

Step 1

Put the donkey-hide gelatin in an oil-free bowl.

Step 2

Add a bottle of rice wine, I used Guyue Longshan, put it in the refrigerator and soak for two days. It can make the gelatin dissolve.

Step 3

After peeling the walnuts, put them in the microwave for two minutes, it will be more fragrant, but you can also leave it alone.

Step 4

I bought roasted sesame seeds.

Step 5

I use jujube rings, you can also buy pitted jujubes

Step 6

First, boil the donkey-hide gelatin until it becomes a paste. If there is some gelatin that has not melted, simmer it over low heat until all the gelatin is dissolved. Then, add the rice wine until it is basically dissolved, and then pour in the other ingredients and mix them together. Make sure to stir evenly and keep the heat low, otherwise they will burn. After stirring evenly, scoop it out in time. I use a plastic box for dumplings, apply oil on it, wrap it with plastic wrap, and apply oil on the plastic wrap as well, so that it is easier to pour out. You can cut it into pieces after leaving it overnight. You don’t need to put it in the refrigerator in this weather. You can put it in the refrigerator in summer.

Step 7

Cut into the size you need, pack in a box, it is best to put it in a plastic bag if you have one

Step 8

That’s it, put it in the refrigerator and eat two pieces a day. It is better to take it on an empty stomach in the morning or before going to bed at night.
