Instructions
- Pre-soak the dried lotus seeds for 6-8 hours and remove the cores if there is any.
- Transfer the soaked lotus seeds to a stewing pot, add water to cover and stew for around 1 to 2 hours until soft. Or place in high pressure cooker and cook a rice procedure.
- Transfer to blender and blend with 1/3 cup of water until really smooth. (Do not add too much water in this step, otherwise you will need quite long stir frying time in next step.)
- Transfer the mixture to a non-sticky pan; add vegetable oil by three batches. Each time after adding the oil, stir the paste until all oil is well absorbed.
- Stir in salt, sugar and maltose. Continue stir until the water is almost evaporated and the mixture can form a sticky paste texture.
- Transfer out and cool down. If you plan to use it later, remember to cover with plastic wrapper to prevent drying out.
Notes
- Prepare time do not include the time for soaking the dried lotus seeds.
