Salty Melon Seeds

Overview

Some time ago, I was clamoring for melon seeds from time to time on Children's Day. I remembered the melon seeds I used to dry, so I bought a pound of sun-dried seeds while the weather was nice. Boil it first, soak it in the flavor, and then dry it in the sun, so you won't worry about children getting angry after eating too much. Moreover, eating such melon seeds does not make you feel dry, unlike buying ready-made ones, which can make you uncomfortable if you eat too much.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Clean the melon seeds.

   

2. 2 Prepare star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, tangerine peel and licorice.

   

3. 3 Take out the washed melon seeds.

   

4. 4 Put it into the pot, add star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, etc., add water and salt. After boiling, cook for about 20 minutes to allow the star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, etc. to develop their flavors. The water should cover the melon seeds, and the melon seeds will float, so you can tell if they are submerged by pressing them down with your hands.

   

5. 5 After cooking, soak overnight.

   

6. 6 The next day you will find that the melon seeds have sunk.

   

7. 7 Take it out and dry it in the sun until it is dry. With the weather we have now, it only takes three or four days to dry it.

   

8. 8 Very delicious.
