STEP 1/10
It's easier to peel if you soak chestnuts in warm water overnight
STEP 2/10
Just peel off the outer skin so that the inner skin of the chestnut doesn't peel off
If the inner skin is peeled, the chestnut will explode when you boil it, so be careful
Remove the outer hairs and wick with a toothpick
STEP 3/10
Soak the peeled chestnuts in 2T of baking soda overnight
STEP 4/10
Transfer the chestnuts soaked in baking soda to a pot and boil over low heat for 20 minutes (1st round)
STEP 5/10
As it boils, only black tea will turn into water
Boil over low heat for 20 minutes, discard the murky water, and rinse the chestnuts in cold water
STEP 6/10
Put chestnuts back in a pot and boil over low heat for 20 minutes. (2nd time)
STEP 7/10
Discard the turbid water, rinse the chestnuts in cold water for the last time, then put the water in a pot and boil over low heat for 20 minutes (3rd time)
Boil it 3 times on low heat for 20 minutes
STEP 8/10
Place chestnuts rinsed in cold water in skillet and add half the total weight of chestnuts
Pour the water until night is over and simmer over low heat until the water content is 60%
STEP 9/10
If you add 2T of soy sauce and rum right before you turn off the heat, the scent and flavor will be better
If you don't have soy sauce or rum, you can skip it
STEP 10/10
If you keep it in a bottle, add the soup as it is
If you eat it 2-3 months later, it's delicious because the soup is cut off
Braised chestnuts are more delicious if you keep them for a month than eat them right away!
