How to cook chestnuts (밤: Bam)

Wash the chestnuts thoroughly under running water.

Place the washed chestnuts in a pot and add enough water to cover them by about 1 inch.

Cover the pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, turn the heat down to medium.

Cover the pot again and continue to cook for another 10 minutes.

Turn off the heat, drain the hot water, and rinse the chestnuts in cold water.

To serve, place a chestnut on a cutting board, cut it in half through the soft, lighter-colored spot, and scoop out the meat with a small spoon.
