Candied Sweet Potato

Material

Sweet potatoes, a little salt, sugar, oil, water, sesame seeds

practice

1. Cut the sweet potatoes into small pieces. See how the edges of the sweet potato pieces in the picture are not very flat? Because I cut a small hole in these sweet potatoes with a knife and then broke them apart with a knife. Never cut them directly with a knife, otherwise the sweet potatoes will not be sweet after frying. This is the same as the fact that cut watermelons are not as sweet as broken watermelons.

2. When the oil is hot, fry.

3. Because the sweet potatoes were broken, their sizes were not very uniform. I put the fried small sweet potato pieces in a colander, and then after all the sweet potato pieces were fried to 80% cooked, I put all the sweet potato pieces in the oil pan and fried them again. When the sweet potato chunks are fried until chopsticks can pierce through the larger ones, they are ready to be served.

4. Put a paper towel on the plate to absorb the oil, put the fried sweet potato cubes on it, and sprinkle some salt on it. This will not only taste better but also eliminate bloating. (I didn’t take any photos during this session, so please imagine it.)

5. Now comes the most critical step - boiling sugar. Put a little oil in the pot, add 4 tablespoons of sugar and a little water. These processes should be done quickly and over low heat. After adding the oil, sugar and water, turn up the heat a little and stir with chopsticks. Just keep surviving slowly.

6. When the cooking reaches this stage, the bubbles become bigger and all the water in the syrup is boiled away. At this time, use chopsticks to pick up a drop of syrup and then drop it into cold water. If the drop of syrup turns into a small round sugar cube after entering the water, the sugar is ready.

7. Now pour the fried sweet potatoes into the pot and stir quickly with chopsticks so that each piece of sweet potato is coated with sugar. Sprinkle with sesame seeds when serving.
