Cooking Steps

1. 

   Step1:Put the shelled chestnut meat into the pot in cold water. Turn to medium heat when the heat is high. If you buy it with a shell, you can cut the cross on the head of the chestnut with scissors. After cooking, peel the shell while it is hot.

2. 

   Step2:Cook for about 30 minutes until done.

3. 

   Step3:Finely cut or mash. Be careful not to leave large particles, so as not to affect the taste of Wowotou.

4. 

   Step4:In a mixing bowl, pour in medium gluten flour and cornmeal. The main ingredient of Wowotou is corn flour. Although it is a common coarse grain in the north, the taste of corn flour is very rough. So I added a proper amount of medium gluten flour to adjust the 'hardness' of the dough. The Wowotou made is more suitable for babies to chew and swallow.

5. 

   Step5:Add in sugar and crushed chestnut. Similarly, the quantity of these two materials can be increased or decreased according to the taste.

6. 

   Step6:Boil the milk a little until it's warm. Milk can also be replaced by clear water. But there is less milk flavor.

7. 

   Step7:Add the hot milk into the hot noodles in several times. Stir with chopsticks while adding. Due to the lack of gluten, even yeast can't form gluten structure through fermentation. Therefore, it is usually in the form of scalding. Under high temperature, starch will absorb water, expand and gelatinize. The taste of pasta made will be louder and softer.

   Step8:Then he kneaded his hands into a smooth dough.

9. 

   Step9:Take out about 35g of small dosage. First round it. Try to make it smaller, easier to chew, and easier to steam.

10. 

    Step10:The thumb of the right hand presses a pit in the middle of the dough. The four fingers of the left hand are close to the edge of the dough. Rotate and knead the dough to form a well-distributed dough. Corn flour is not easy to be steamed, so a gap should be left at the bottom to increase the surface area.

11. 

    Step11:Put steamer cloth or steamer paper on the steamer. Code the space between the heads of the dimples.

12. 

    Step12:Put cold water in the pot. Turn to medium heat and steam for about 20 minutes.

13. 

    Step13:It can't be eaten at a time. It can be sealed and frozen in the refrigerator. Before eating, it can be steamed in the pot. It can be eaten in two weeks.
