The dried tofu used to make this snack today is also called "Qianzhang" in southern cuisine.
Fresh dry tofu has the fragrance of soy products and is slightly yellow and shiny in color.
The protein content in dry tofu is equivalent to that of beef. It is rich in lecithin and soy isoflavones, which can help protect the human heart and is extremely beneficial to the human body, so it can be eaten by the elderly and children.
Ham sausage has always been known as the golden partner of instant noodles, and its appeal to children is unparalleled. Ham sausage is rich in vitamins and various minerals, and can be combined with a variety of ingredients to be processed into dishes.
Although it is not recommended to eat too much, it is still good to satisfy your craving once in a while.
Today's food: Dried tofu and ham lollipop Ingredients required: 1 piece of dried tofu, 2 ham sausages, 300ml of cooking oil, 15g of tomato paste Cooking process: Step 1 Prepare all the ingredients.
Step 2: Rinse the dry tofu with clean water, drain the water and cut it into a width similar to the length of the ham sausage. Place the ham sausage with the outer packaging on one end of the dry tofu, and roll the ham sausage tightly with the dry tofu.
This step is very important. When rolling the ham sausage, you must tighten your hands firmly. If the roll is too loose, it will easily fall apart in the next step. Roll it tighter and it will be easier to fix.
Step 3: Fix the rolled dry tofu and ham rolls with toothpicks. It is best to insert the toothpicks at the interface of the dry tofu, so that the fixing effect is more stable.
The distance between the toothpicks can be freely adjusted. If the distance is wider, the dried tofu and ham rolls will be thicker. If the distance is smaller, the dry tofu and ham rolls will be thinner.
Step 4: Roll the two ham sausages with dry tofu respectively, then fix them with toothpicks, and then you can cut them.
Step 5: Cut everything into lollipop shapes, cut the remaining dry tofu into thin strips, fold it into a simple bow with your hands, and use the bottom of a toothpick to thread the bow and dry tofu ham roll together.
Step 6: After skewering all the dough, put it on the plate and set aside to see if it looks particularly like a lollipop. It is very delicate and beautiful, and the child will be very happy.
Step 7: Pour an appropriate amount of cooking oil into the pot, heat the pot over high heat until the oil temperature is 50% hot, put the dried tofu and ham rolls into the pot one by one, and use chopsticks to turn them at a constant speed to prevent uneven heating and uneven frying.
Fry until the ham changes color and take it out of the pan. If you like a crispy texture, you can fry it for a while.
Cooking Tips: If you don’t like deep-frying, you can also use a pan to fry the dried tofu and ham rolls until both sides are golden brown, but they must not be fried until they are evenly heated.
After the dried tofu ham rolls are taken out of the pan and put on a plate, you can eat them directly with tomato sauce according to your personal preference, or you can sprinkle them with your favorite barbecue dipping sauce.
