There is a custom in my hometown that we need to prepare "fried goods" as the Chinese New Year approaches, such as "vermicelli balls", "fried cakes", "fried dough sticks" and "crispy meat", and so on. Every time we fry several pots, we can finally have a good time. My mother always said that we should not care about being fat or frying during the Chinese New Year, and we must be happy this year. Among them, the favorite is fried hollow snacks. Up to now, I still can't figure out what this thing is called. It's bulging and empty, with crispy skin and not greasy to eat. The unique salty taste almost hooks up the greedy insects in my stomach.

Fried snacks

Required ingredients: 400g of flour, 4g of yeast powder, 8g of salt, egg 1 piece, 220ml of warm water, black sesame and edible oil.

Tools required: pot

Step 1: The yeast powder is melted in warm water in advance, then the flour, yeast powder, salt and normal-temperature eggs are mixed together, and the dough is mixed with yeast water. After being stirred into flour wadding, cooked black sesame seeds and cooking oil are added to knead it into a smooth Microsoft dough, which is covered with plastic wrap and sealed and put in a warm place for fermentation to double the size.

It is best to use eggs at room temperature. The eggs just taken out of the refrigerator can be soaked in a warm water basin.

Fermenting yeast in warm water and mixing flour with yeast water can ferment more quickly;

I like salty mouth, so I added some salt. Friends who like sweet mouth can use white sugar instead, depending on their own taste.

Step 2: After the dough is fermented, the air can be exhausted, and the gas generated in the fermentation process can be exhausted and kneaded to the original size.

Step 3: After exhausting air, roll the dough into a large rectangular dough sheet. Be sure to roll the crust while spreading dry powder, and change the roll on both sides so as not to stick to the chopping board.

Step 4: cut according to your favorite shape, which can be cut into four squares or rectangles, or pressed into small balls with a cup cover like me. Don't throw away the rest of the dough, and knead it again to make a good cake crust.

Step 5: Open an oil pan in advance when the oil temperature is 60% hot. Take a dry chopstick and put it in the oil, and dense small bubbles will be generated immediately on the chopsticks. At this time, put the dough embryo in the pan, immediately float and swell, turn it over, and fry it in medium and small fire until both sides are golden and evenly colored, and then control the oil and take it out of the pan. Use oil-absorbing paper to absorb the oil on the surface.

Conclusion: Although it is a small fried snack, it is not greasy at all, with golden surface and hollow inside, salty and delicious. Speaking of which, do you know why this snack is hollow when it is fried?
