Happy New Year's day. It's natural to have sugar. All kinds of sweets. Full of streets. Filled with the table to greet guests. For children, there is finally a chance to eat a lot of sugar. But as soon as I saw that sister and brother began to put sugar in their mouths, my will there be a lot of additives? Will it be unhealthy nerve tightened up again. I didn't want to take advantage of the holiday to be lazy. Well, I just want to make myself a healthy nougat. There are two ways to make nougat. One is to use marshmallow. The other is to boil syrup (also called shuiyi). Corn syrup is needed to boil syrup. This kind of material is not common. And it is also very troublesome to make. The main component of marshmallow is also corn syrup. But it is relatively easy to purchase. Moreover, the method is much better. Basically, it can be done successfully. Of course. To be relatively healthy. The choice of marshmallows is also very important. Try to choose products with simple and reliable ingredients

Cooking Steps
Step1:Pour the peanuts into the baking pan and spread well. Put them in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes at 120 ℃. If ripe peanut kernel is used, this step can be omitted. You can also fry it in a pot or microwave. Not necessarily in an oven. Besides peanuts, you can also try cashew nuts, cranberries, walnuts, almonds, etc. to make different flavors of nougat.
Step2:Cool the roasted peanuts a little. Peel them for use.
Step3:Put the butter in the non stick pot. Melt it slowly on a low heat. Shake the non stick pot gently. Let the butter spread over the bottom of the pot. Remember to use a non stick pot. Otherwise, it will stick to the bottom after putting marshmallow in. You can't even pick it off. Butter has a strong milk flavor. If there is no butter, vegetable oil will be used instead.
Step4:Put in marshmallow. Mix gently with a silica gel scraper. Let marshmallow melt slowly. The marshmallow should be white and non sandwiched, and the whole process is small fire. The smaller the fire, the higher the success rate. I chose the American Rockies marshmallow. It's healthy and not greasy.
Step5:See that the marshmallows are basically melted. Mix in the milk powder quickly. Don't delay. If the marshmallow is boiled for too long, oil and water will separate, leading to failure. I think whole milk powder is the best. High fat milk powder or baby milk powder is also OK. But in order to make the finished product not too sweet, try to choose milk powder with low sugar.
Step6:Mix well with the scraper to the state shown above. Never operate with a spatula or wooden spatula. Otherwise, they will stick together.
Step7:Pour in the peanuts. Mix them well again, and then turn off the heat and take them out. Peanuts don't need to be diced. We'll cut the whole Nuggets later.
Step8:Put on the gloves. Take out the nougat after it is slightly cooled. Put it in a square plate to shape. If you have a square container of the right size at home, or a shaping tool for nougat, you can use it. If not, you can press the nougat into a regular rectangle with the help of a baking pan. In fact, it should not be sticky at this time. But disposable gloves are more comfortable and sanitary.
Step9:Use a rolling pin to roll the surface flat. Adjust the shape and edge with your hand. Try to be a regular square or rectangle. It is convenient for later cutting to reduce waste. The nougat will harden when it is cooled, so set it as soon as possible while there is still temperature.

Cooking tips:Nougat is a simple process. Pay attention to the whole process of small fire, small fire, and then small fire. And each step is connected and coherent. It can be 100% successful. After the original nougat is tested successfully, you can add Matcha powder to make Matcha nougat and cocoa powder to make chocolate nougat. Peanuts can also be replaced with other nuts. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
