Hi, everyone, I am Sister Xiao Gao
We will fry mix sesame paste leaves today (a kind of traditional Chinese snack)
The first step is adding oil to the flour. Then mix them up totally by hands
which will make the sesame leaves super crispy
Add one egg
salt and black sesame
add water also. You are making the flavor here
so you can add sugar
pepper powder, or five-flavor powder. They all work.
knead it to a little bit harder dough
till well distributed and let it prove for 30 minutes
after 30 minutes, you come back to knead the dough again
it will be easier to make it smooth
Keep kneading for about 2 minutes
Prove it for another 2 hours
We will roll the dough in 2 hours
First step is to press the dough with your hand till it is flat
Second step is to roll the dough from the center to the edge
when it turns to a medium size round crust
we can roll the crust with the rolling pin
Rolling is a procedure of delivering the crust to both sides
with your palms
When press down
there is a strength pushing outside
After rolling several times, change a direction, roll it again
You see, my rolling pin
the thickness of the middle is same to both sides
There is another rolling pin with a thicker middle and thinner sides
It is faster to use that one
But it is easier to generate bubbles
It requires some skills to use it
After flipping more than 10 times
the right crust then shows up
If you see the edge is thicker, roll that part a little bit
When will the crust be ready?
When it is transparent. You can see my hand
Or when you can see the sesame seed from the other side clearly
If you keep rolling, the sesame seed shell will be crushed
fold once, fold twice. Press the edges
Cut through the edge line.
Open the two semicircles and pile them up
Cut from the middle
It is easier to operate now
Cut the crusts to a strip with a finger width
another strip with two finger width and another with three finger width
Divide the one finger-width strip into several parts
Scratch once from the middle
This is the easiest and the most basic method
Here is the two finger-width strip
Cut it to longer strips (than the one finger width strips)
Cut three times after fold them
Cut one in the middle then you will cut evenly for other two cuts
Pile two piece of strips together
Pull one side from the middle cut
The second method for the 4-strands strip is
to life up the second strand
and pull one side out of the strand
The third method is to cut 5 times
and make it 6 strands
Life up the second and the third stands
Pull one side out of the space between the two strands and others
That's it
Let's see the method for the fanshape
Use the widest strip and cut it to pieces
Fold them and cut like this
Fold in diagonal,
and fold the corner to the middle
Fold the other corner also.
Press it flat
That's it
When fry, don't make the oil too hot
Throw a piece to test the oil temperature
The test piece will not float up immediately
If it takes couple seconds to float up, then it will be the best temperature
In the oil, the sesame paste leaves will swell slowly
like a flower gradually blooming
This it the first method, the easiest.
This is the piled with two pieces
This is the 4-strand one
This is the look of 6-strand one
The last one is fanshaped
Let's see with one
You can see a handful of crushed pieces
I don't need say anything
That is all for this program. Thank all of you for watching.
