How to make delicious and chewy jelly

Method 1 for making jelly:

The raw material for jelly is starch made from mung beans. First, dissolve the mung bean starch in water and stir evenly. Pour water into a pot and bring it to a boil. When the water is about to boil, pour in the dissolved mung bean starch, stirring while pouring. After stirring evenly, pour into a large porcelain plate and let cool. Then soak it in cold water to make jelly. When eating, use a scraper (a tool for shaving jelly) to shave strips along the solidified jelly, put them in a bowl, pour good soy sauce, vinegar, mashed garlic, shredded carrots, sesame paste, and chili oil on it and mix. This kind of jelly is called scraping strips. Some are cut into small strips with a knife and eaten with the condiments poured over them.

Method 2 for making jelly:

The ratio of powder to water is 1:6. Take out 1 portion of the measured water to dissolve the powder first, boil the remaining water on the stove, and then pour the dissolved powder slurry into the pot, stirring quickly while pouring until it becomes transparent. Then turn off the heat, remove from the stove and wait until it cools down. You can also refrigerate it. Be careful when doing this. Once the solution becomes transparent, you can turn off the heat and leave. Do not heat it for too long, as long as it becomes transparent is enough.

Method 3 of making jelly:

1) Prepare mung bean starch, which is available in hypermarkets and supermarkets. Prepare a 1 1/2 cup measuring cup.

2) Pour 1/2 cup of mung bean starch into a small pot, and then use the same measuring cup to pour 6 portions of cold water into the small pot. In other words, the ratio of starch to water is 1:6. It doesn’t matter what tool you use to measure, as long as you get the ratio right. In addition, regarding the ratio, some people like 1:5, and some people like 1:7.

3) Stir the starch and cold water until they become a mixture of starch water. Put it on the stove, heat it while stirring constantly, until the mixture in the pot becomes transparent, then it is ready, turn off the heat. Note: Regarding stirring, when the water is not hot at the beginning, you can stir it slowly. When it starts to heat up, you need to stir it continuously. If you are not sure, just keep stirring from the beginning. Haha, anyway, you can't save up the energy.

4) Pour the heated mixture into a container and let it cool slowly. When everything is cool, you can easily turn it upside down. If you want it to cool faster, you can put it in the refrigerator in the middle and take it out after it cools down. However, if it is kept in the refrigerator for too long, it will become hard and not taste good, so I usually don’t put it in the refrigerator, but let it cool down slowly outside.

5) Place the cooled jelly on a cutting board, cut into desired sizes, and place in a container.

6) Add your favorite seasonings - I'm from Chongqing, so of course I like spicy food, so I add onions, garlic, light soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, vinegar, and chili oil. Mix well and start eating! Delicious

Method 4 of making jelly:

A friend asked me how to make jelly. Today I’m posting my simple method. The ratio of mung bean powder to water is 1:5.

1. Use half a cup of this jelly and half a cup of cold water to mix evenly. This pound of mung bean powder is 2.6 euros per bag. I suggest that the brothers who have become bandits all over the world put down their butcher knives and switch to opening Asian stores in Stuttgart.

2. Bring two cups of water to a boil (preferably in a non-stick pan, so it is easy to pour out after cooling), pour in the prepared mung bean powder, stirring slowly

3. When the color becomes uniform and the mung bean powder is cooked and solidified, remove from the heat and set aside to cool

4. After it cools down, put it in the refrigerator for half a day, and the color turns into white like this, then you can use it

5. Turn it upside down and cut it into the shape you like, then you can mix it this way or that

Mix the jelly with shredded carrots and fried minced meat

Mix jelly with carrot and cucumber shreds

Mix jelly, shredded carrots and shredded celery that has been boiled in water together.
