Tǔ dòu táng, also known as candied sweet potatoes, is a popular Chinese snack. The sweet potatoes are caramelized in a sugar syrup, which gives them a crisp, sweet coating.
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 100 g sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- Oil for deep-frying
Instructions
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into pieces about 1-2 cm thick.
- Heat oil in a deep pot and fry the sweet potato pieces until soft and lightly browned.
- In a separate pan, heat the sugar with a little water until it dissolves completely and forms a syrup.
- Add the fried sweet potatoes to the syrup and stir well so every piece is evenly coated with sugar.
- Spread the candied sweet potatoes on parchment paper and quickly sprinkle with sesame seeds before the sugar hardens.
- Let the sweet potatoes cool until the sugar has hardened into a crunchy shell.
