Detailed Steps for Cooking Astragalus Cake with Cranberries for Nourishing Qi and Blood
Take 125g of astragalus, grind it into powder or crush it, and soak it in yellow wine for more than 48 hours. For finished astragalus cake or if you need astragalus, please send me a private message.
Fry the walnuts until cooked.
Grind the rock sugar into powder or crush it.
Remove the pits from the red dates.
Wash the goji berries.
Wash and dry the black sesame seeds, and fry them until cooked.
Set aside the cranberries.
Pour the soaked astragalus into a copper pot, add rock sugar (adjust the amount according to personal preference), and cook it in a copper pot to preserve the medicinal properties of the astragalus. If you don’t have a copper pot, you can use a stainless steel pot, but do not use an iron pot.
Stir constantly during the cooking process to prevent sticking to the pot. After it reaches the desired consistency, add the auxiliary ingredients.
Add the goji berries, cranberries, red dates, walnuts, and black sesame seeds in order, and mix well.
Pour the evenly mixed astragalus cake into a mold, press it flat, and let it cool and solidify naturally.
After cooling, slice the astragalus cake and serve.
