Cooking Skills：Stir-fried chestnuts with sugar is a traditional practice on the street. Hand-frying chestnuts is most often done by stirring the chestnuts and black sand in a large black wok with a long iron shovel.

When the chestnuts are fried until they are five mature, they are picked up with an iron sieve, and the black sand is sieved away. Stir fry chestnuts to ensure that the heat penetrates into the chestnuts evenly, otherwise the outside will be cooked and the inside will be raw.

Chestnuts are mostly used for frying and cooking; they can also be used as raw materials for cooking, and can also be ground into chestnut powder to make cakes.
