Oil fruit method and ingredients

Many people may not be familiar with oily fruit, or have never eaten it. In fact, it is basically a small snack, mainly loved by Hakka people. However, you can make it yourself. This snack is very simple to make. It only requires eggs, flour, milk and other raw materials. You can also choose the milk according to your needs. Sometimes you can choose not to use milk.

Material:

Flour, cooking oil, eggs, milk (optional), white sugar, brown sugar, baking soda. (Hakka ingredients: flour, white sugar, sweet potato (optional), also known as sweet potato oil fruit)

practice:

1. Let the dough rise: Add eggs (the more eggs, the crispier the fruit will be) to flour the day before and mix into dough. Place it in a warm place so that the dough can rise and expand to twice its original size. Add alkaline water and knead well.

2. Kneading the dough: (1) First, take a bowl and put the flour, eggs, milk, sugar and baking soda into it to make a hard white dough. Cover it with a cloth and place it near the heater. (2) Put flour in a bowl, beat the eggs and pour the milk mixed with brown sugar and honey into the flour and knead it into a hard black dough. Don’t forget to add baking soda (just a little bit will do). Cover with a cloth and place in a warm place. (3) Take a small amount of flour in a bowl and pour the cooked oil into it to make shortcrust pastry. (4) Take some leavened dough, shortcrust pastry and white hard dough and knead them together. Divide them into several small pieces, cover with a cloth and place next to the heater. (5) Take some leavened dough, shortcrust dough and black hard dough, knead them together, divide them into several small pieces, cover them with a cloth and place them near the heater.

3. Roll out the dough: Take two pieces of white dough and use a large rolling pin to roll the dough into sheets, and then roll out the black dough as well.

4. Brush water on the white dough and place the black dough on top, then brush water on it and place the white dough on top. It is black in the middle and white on the top and bottom. Then it is cut into long strips with a knife. Several long strips are stacked up and down, and a few cuts are made in the middle with a knife to make fancy fruits. When frying in oil, pay close attention to the heat, otherwise the fruit will be fried black. Generally, the first plate of fruit will probably turn black, but you will learn from the experience later. You can sprinkle some sugar on it after it comes out of the pan, it is very refreshing.

Choose rice, generally glutinous rice is better, the taste is soft, sweet and fragrant

② Grind the millet into rice grains and then grind it into powder. ③ Boil sugar water and mix it with rice flour (sweet potato flour can be made without sugar). ④ Shape the mixed dough into balls and fry them. (Hakka method)

Tip: There are many varieties of oil fruits, you can pinch them according to your preference.

Shuozhou oil fruit

Introduction

Shuozhou oily fruit is also called "Baoershak". It is made by adding milk and appropriate amount of salt water to knead the dough (fermented dough is preferred), then rolling it into strips, cutting the dough into diamond shapes with a knife, and then frying it with boiling beef, mutton, camel or vegetable oil until it turns yellow. [1]

Oil-fried fruit, a specialty of Shuozhou, has been one of the popular export specialties as early as the Qing Dynasty. Preparation method: First, add a little sugar (a little), water, and baking powder to the glutinous rice flour, mix them together, and ferment them for at least one night. Then dip your hands in oil and wrap the sugar core like making glutinous rice balls. Then throw the wrapped "glutinous rice balls" into the raw sesame seeds and coat them with a layer of raw sesame seeds.

Finally, pour half of the oil into the pot, put the sesame-covered "glutinous rice balls" in, and fry them with a colander until golden brown.

Nowadays, there are many ways and flavors of fried dough sticks, such as rolling in sugar, covering in honey, filling, stuffing, rubbing with crispy dough, and infiltrated with sugar. They are delicious, nourishing to the stomach, and famous among the neighbors.
