You might also want to know: What is Xiaogan Sesame Candy?
In this post, we will guide you on how to create Xiaogan Sesame Candy, a popular and traditional sweet treat from the Xiaogan region of China, right in your own home. This simple yet delectable candy, made primarily from sesame seeds and sugar, has a unique texture and flavor that has won the hearts of many.
Ingredients
Ingredient | Amount |
Sesame | 50g |
Sugar | 40g |
Peanut Oil | 4g |
Steps
1
After buying the sesame seeds, clean them thoroughly, drain the water, and slowly roast them over low heat in a non-stick pan. Roast until they are fragrant and slightly yellow in color. When the surface of the sesame seeds is oily, it means they are cooked. Or you can easily crush the sesame seeds by hand, which means they are well roasted. Of course, you can also buy cooked sesame seeds directly to save this step.
2
Put oil and sugar in a non-stick pan and fry over low heat until all the sugar is melted. I used peanut oil, you can also use other oils at home, that is, whatever oil you use will be the flavor.
3
After all the sugar has melted, you can turn off the heat, pour the cooked sesame seeds into the pot, and quickly stir evenly.
4
You can remove it from the stove once it's completely mixed.
5
Pour the semi-fluid sesame syrup onto a piece of cling film or onto a large enough piece of baking parchment, then cover with another piece of cling film or parchment. While it's hot, roll it out with a rolling pin. The thinner it's rolled, the crispier it will be.
6
Cut it into pieces before it gets cold, as it will easily crumble if cut after it cools! Because the finished product is really crispy.
Tips
How to make this process faster in the cold winter, and the key is to roll and cut it before it cools down completely after it comes out of the pot!
Once it cools down, it's really crispy with a bite.
You can also use black sesame, peanuts, melon seeds and other nuts, or even mix several nuts. If the nuts are in large particles, you need to crush them, otherwise you can't roll them very thin.
