Pea yellow

Pea yellow is a classic snack in old Beijing. It is made of peeled yellow peas (PS yellow peas are not yellow peas). The method is similar to mung bean cake. But because the pea itself contains a lot of starch, which is boiled and cooled, the method is similar, but the taste is more delicate and soft, and the taste is instant. Compared with mungbean cake, sister meow and brother meow also prefer pea yellow. In addition to a large amount of sugar, the pea yellow sold in the market will also be put in agar or gelatin powder to set the shape. The pea yellow mouth made will be brittle and will not be ready to melt in the mouth. Today, I'd like to share a recipe that can be finished with a little white sugar. It's soft, sweet and low in calories. It's especially suitable for children's snacks and adults' desserts.

Cooking ingredients

peeled and dried peas:200g

dried dates:100g

sugar:6g

clear water:above 1kg

Cooking Steps

Step1:Soak dried yellow peas in water for more than 4 hours. Let them swell and soften. The soaking time should not be less than 4 hours. Otherwise, it is not easy to cook. It can also be soaked one day in advance. If it is too hot in summer, put the water pots together in the refrigerator for refrigeration. If you make it in a pressure cooker, you don't need to make it in advance. Wash the beans directly and then cook them. It will take about 30 minutes.

Step2:Choose some big round red dates that are full and sweet. Steam for 12 minutes. On the one hand, it can improve the sweetness. This way, there is no need to add more sugar. On the other hand, the nutrition will be more abundant. It is very suitable for children. Of course, if you want pure pea yellow, don't add red dates.

Step3:The steamed red jujube peels the skin while it is hot. Remove the core for standby. It's easier to peel red dates as soon as they are hot. It's not easy to peel them when they're cold. Jujube skin is very sticky. You can prepare another bowl of water. During peeling, stick it on your hand and wash it.

Step4:Soak the peas and drain. There will be impurities in the water after soaking. Unless you change the water in the middle of the process, otherwise you will filter it out. The peas that didn't open and the ones that didn't grow well were picked out one by one.

Step5:Add water (about 1000ml). Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and cook for 30 minutes. Cook until soft and rotten. The dried pea will absorb a lot of water in the process of boiling, so we need to add enough water at one time. In addition, pay attention to the heat. It's very easy to pounce on the pot after boiling. Make a small fire in time.

Step6:Drain the dried peas and pour them into the blender. In fact, boiled water can also be stirred together. However, considering that the water quantity is not easy to grasp, if you want to use the boiled water, you can first install it separately, and then add it to the blender to stir. Try not to make pea mud too thin.

Step7:Add jujube meat, 6G sugar and proper amount of water. The amount of water should be just enough to stir evenly. The amount of sugar can be adjusted according to your own preference. If you like sweeter, you can add more. Sugar also has the function of antisepsis. Polysaccharide can help to prolong the shelf life of pea yellow. (of course, adding some lemon juice can also extend the shelf life. But it is easy to produce sour taste and damage the taste.
