Watermelon and water chestnut cake

Overview

I haven’t uploaded delicious food for a long time, not because of laziness, but because of health. The intervertebral disc herniation made me lie in bed for ten days. I had just recovered and I didn't dare to mess with it anymore. I just lay down again every day when I got home from get off work to take care of myself. I just wronged my daughter and haven’t cooked delicious food for her for a long time. I bought a big watermelon some time ago and I couldn't eat it at once. I suddenly thought that it has a lot of juice and can be used to make water chestnut cakes? So I did it, and the baby liked it very much! Now I’m doing it again and taking pictures of the steps to share with everyone.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Remove the seeds from the watermelon and get the pure juice.

   

2. 2 Add appropriate amount of water chestnut powder and mix well. For the amount of water chestnut powder, refer to the Osmanthus Water chestnut cake I posted.

   

3. 3 Let the watermelon juice boil for a while. If the melon is sweet, there is no need to add sugar. If it is not sweet enough, add more as appropriate, because you will have to add water chestnut powder later, which will slightly dilute the sweetness.

   

4. 4 Pour in the prepared water chestnut powder and stir evenly into a semi-cooked powder slurry

   

5. 5 Mix well and let it sit for a while until it looks like this. Because the watermelon juice has been left to cool for too long, it is not half-cooked and the water chestnut flour is a little sinking to the bottom. This is unqualified. But don’t worry, follow the steps below

   

6. 6 This was taken at night without flash.

   

7. 7 Put on the stove, low heat, stir quickly! Stir quickly! Stir quickly! It cannot be allowed to solidify, let alone be cooked!

   

8. 8 Stir until it becomes slightly thick with some resistance and immediately remove from the heat. This was taken with a mobile phone flash

   

9. 9 This was taken without a mobile phone flash. The color looks a bit white, that’s okay, see the steps below

   

10. 10 This consistency is not so thick when it is removed from the fire, it is the residual heat that thickens it!

    

11. 11 Pour the powder slurry into the steamer on the mold and steam until the powder becomes transparent

    

12. 12 This will turn off the heat. Let cool before unmoulding. It is better to eat after placing it in the refrigerator.

    

13. 13 After taking it out of the mold, do you have the urge to take a bite? You will love the sweet and chewy texture of watermelon!
