Steps to Make Jujube Walnut Sesame Cake

Place the walnuts in a baking tray and put them in the oven. Bake at 150 degrees for about 10 minutes until fragrant. Be sure to keep an eye on the oven to avoid burning. After baking, let them cool and remove the walnut skins by rubbing them with your hands. Finally, filter the walnut skins with a sieve and set aside.

Remove the pits from the jujubes with scissors and put them in a blender with a suitable amount of water. The more water you add, the longer you will need to stir-fry, so just blend the jujubes until they are smooth. If the blender is not powerful enough, blend the jujubes in two batches. Pour the blended jujubes into a non-stick pan and add the maltose. Dissolve the starch in water and prepare a shallow dish lined with parchment paper.

Prepare to stir-fry the jujube paste: Heat the jujube paste over medium heat and stir slowly with a silicone spatula to allow the maltose to slowly melt into the jujube paste. When the jujube paste starts to bubble, slowly pour in the dissolved water starch while stirring constantly. Add the butter and continue stirring with the spatula. Use the spatula to scrape the jujube paste from the sides of the pan and stir-fry until the jujube paste starts to clump together. Reduce the heat and continue stirring until the jujube paste becomes like dough.

Add the prepared walnuts, sesame seeds, and goji berries to the jujube paste and stir-fry until they are fully mixed. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Press the mixture firmly and evenly to form a brick-like shape. Adjust the thickness according to your preference.

Let it cool and cut it into desired sizes with a knife. Wrap each piece with glutinous rice paper and put them in a package for convenient daily consumption. Store in the refrigerator.

Enjoy one package every day for a convenient snack.
