The same kind of sugar has different physical and chemical properties in different temperature environments, which changes its color, texture and flavor, and thus has different uses, such as frosted hawthorn pill, candied haws and drawn sweet potatoes. These are the three intuitive states of sugar at different temperatures. When cooking sugar, it is very handy to know the characteristics of sugar at three different temperature stages and grasp the heat, and make frosted hawthorn pill, Sugar-Coated Berry and brushed sweet potatoes.
So, if you want to make apples at home, do you boil the sugar with water or oil?
Actually, you can boil sugar with water or oil. Just use the sugar boiled in oil to make an apple shred, which looks softer and brighter, but its disadvantage is that it contains more oil and is not good for your health. So, if you want to make apples at home, you'd better boil the sugar in water. Let's share the process of pulling apples with boiled sugar.
Rock sugar, like white sugar, belongs to sucrose and is made from main crops such as sugar cane and sugar beet. Under the condition of heating, sucrose begins to melt with the increase of temperature, and as time goes by, with the increase of temperature and the decrease of water content, the nature and state of sugar also change, which is the principle that we use this property to make various delicious dishes.
1, crystal sugar and water are poured into the pot together according to the ratio of 1:2. Water just doesn't contain sugar. If there is more water, the cooking time will be prolonged. The early water can be heated by fire.
2. All the rock sugar melts to form a mixture of sugar water. With the boiling of the solution and the continuous evaporation of water, the pot changes from large bubbles to dense small bubbles. Turn on a small fire at this time to avoid burns.
3. Continue heating. When dense small bubbles appear, stir the shovel with a shovel and feel that the sugar water will "return to the sand", indicating that the sugar will re-crystallize, which is the frosting stage.
In the frosting stage, that is, when there are many small white bubbles, it is necessary to change the minimum fire, and it is best to use the central flame of gas to avoid the sugar zoom when the temperature of the pot is too high. With the increase of the temperature of sugar solution, sucrose is completely decomposed, and the sugar solution is in a transparent bubble state, and the color changes from white of sesame oil to yellow, which is the state of drawing.
4. quickly put in the apples that have been fried with starch in advance. Don't turn off the fire to cool down at this time. If the temperature drops, the fructose in the ingredients will be uneven.
5. Wrap the syrup evenly and take it out of the pot immediately. Picking up a sweet potato wrapped in sugar while it is hot will pull out a long filament. At this time, it is generally necessary to prepare a bowl of cold water beside it in advance and stick it in the bowl to achieve the purpose of cooling down and not burning your mouth.
There are many kinds of dishes with drawing, such as drawing sweet potato, drawing yam, drawing apple, drawing potato and so on. And you have mastered the spinning stage of boiling sugar, which is handy and very simple to do.
I have mastered the skill of cooking sugar, and I can easily make cooked sweet potatoes at home, which is safe and secure.
