One of the cooking techniques that westerners are best at is "baking". They not only bake bread, roast turkey, bake pizza and barbecue, but also "bake fruit". "Baked fruit" is not unusual in the west, but it is still rare in China, so it is inevitably associated with "dark cuisine".
Some time ago, Xiao Bian was very curious when he saw someone baking sugar cane in the street. He doubted whether it could really be eaten, so he went forward and asked the boss. Later, he realized that this baked sugar cane is also a delicious food, and it is also a traditional snack. It is more common in southern China. There are often stalls baking sugar cane on the street, but it is strange for the first time I met my friends, and I thought it was a online celebrity way to eat.
Street vendors will bake sugar cane on charcoal fire. If someone comes to buy it, they will peel the baked sugar cane and squeeze it into sugar cane juice. Drinking a cup of hot sugar cane juice in winter is also a special taste! To tell the truth, the roasted sugarcane is squeezed into juice, which is actually quite delicious and has nothing to do with "dark cooking".
Because roasted sugarcane is easy to cool off if you chew it directly instead of squeezing it into juice, and the cooled roasted sugarcane is no different from chewing ordinary sugarcane. Baked sugar cane tastes better when it is hot, because the moisture in the sugar cane is evaporated after baking. At this time, the sugar cane tastes sweeter, and the hardness is similar to that before baking. Xiaobian personally thinks that baked sugar cane is quite delicious.
In fact, besides this traditional way of eating baked sugarcane, other baked fruits are popular now, such as baked bananas, even baked watermelons and baked apples. I don't know who came up with the idea, but Xiaobian has not eaten many kinds of baked fruits. What other baked fruits have you eaten? What are the roasted fruits that you think are "dark dishes" but feel delicious after eating them? Come and share it! Maybe you can also innovate a way to eat roasted fruit! Seeing the "baked sugarcane" on the south street, I thought it was a "dark dish" and tasted it: delicious!
