Ajax, also known as donkey-hide gelatin or Fuzhi gelatin, is mentioned in the "Shennong Bencao Jing". It is a solid gelatin block processed from the skin of the donkey, a member of the Equus asinus Linnaeus family. Donkey skin can be harvested all year round. The skin is soaked in water to soften it, the hair is removed, and it is chopped into small pieces. It is then soaked in water to whiten it, boiled in hot water, and when the skin rolls up, it is removed and boiled in a pot. After the gelatin solidifies, it is poured out and cut into small pieces.
[Processing method] 1. "Ajiao Ding" in the "Shiliao Bencao": "Cut into small pieces." "Leizheng Huoren Shu": "Cut into small pieces." Currently, take the Ajax block, place it on a low heat to soften it, and then cut it into small square pieces.
2. "Hafen Chao Ajiao" in the "Jin Kui Yu Han Jing": "Roast until boiling." "Shengji Zonglu": "Stir-fry the clam powder until yellow, remove the powder." Currently, take an appropriate amount of clam powder and place it in a hot pan. Heat it over medium heat until it becomes flexible, then add the Ajax pieces. Stir-fry continuously until it swells into a round ball shape and there is no runny center. Remove it, sift out the clam powder, and let it cool.
3. "Pu Huang Chao Ajiao": Place the Pu Huang in a pot and heat it over medium heat until it slightly changes color. Add the Ajax pieces and stir-fry continuously until it swells into a round ball shape and there is no runny center. Remove it, sift out the Pu Huang, and let it cool.
