The yearly 蘋婆, 鳳眼果 or Phoenix Eye nuts that I love eating. But only for about 1 month per year, which I got them earlier before 七夕. Only regret is, it didn't come with the leaves 🍃🍃, which are great for wrapping dessert dumplings 蘋葉茶粿, etc :
Hints on Preparations:
•They are very slimey sticky, almost resin like, so you need to rinse soak them in warm water 1st
•Before u boil them for around 15 mins with some salt solution. I noticed many modern instructions forget to remind people the Old wisdom. Ur suppose to cut a slit with a knife 🗡 , like u would cherry tomatoes. It makes them about 1000% easier to peel after, without breaking your nails
•You can peel them all the way down to that 'Last Protective Layer', then keep in fridge for longer. Unless you candied preserved them, which is also super ace like marrons glacés. On the last pic, only 1 nut was peeled all the way, as a contrast
•唔好買錯 #假蘋婆 😝
