Today, Xiaoting will share with you the home-cooked version of the sugar-fried chestnut, which tastes the same as the one sold on the street. 【Stir-fried chestnuts in sugar】Step 1: First of all, wash one pound of chestnuts to ensure that there is no soil on the surface of the chestnuts. The washed chestnuts are then removed, drained, and placed on a cutting board ready for further processing.
Step 2: Using a kitchen knife, gently make a small incision in the shell of each chestnut, which can facilitate subsequent peeling. This small processing makes the shell of the chestnut easier to peel and easier to handle, which provides convenience for subsequent frying.
Step 3: Preheat the pan before stir-frying. There is no need for additional brushing of oil, spread the prepared chestnuts evenly on the bottom of the pan. Then, pour in an appropriate amount of water, let the water level submerge 1 5 of the chestnuts, cover the pot, and simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes.
Step 4: After 5 minutes of simmering, observe that the water in the pot has been fully absorbed by the chestnuts. To enhance the taste, we need to make some honey water. Pour the honey water evenly over the chestnuts, cover the pot again and continue to simmer for another minute. This step allows the honey water to penetrate into the inside of the chestnut, adding a sweet flavor to the whole.
Step 5: Taste a fried chestnut and you will feel that it becomes very easy to peel, sweet and soft. Each one exudes a powdery and glutinous taste, which is the most extreme way to present chestnuts. This treatment not only makes the chestnuts easier to peel, but also has a fresh and hygienic taste, making them ideal for making at home.

Consume it every other day to not only enjoy the delicious taste, but also provide comprehensive nourishment to the body. It's a shame not to understand the benefits of eating these two ingredients.
