1. Where is the specialty of sorghum molasses?
The old taste of Qingdao sorghum caramel: Spring Festival is only sweet, the whole childhood.
Gaoliangyi is a brand in Qingdao, and 1956 was first created in Qingdao. It used to be one of the favorite sweets of countless Qingdao people, and it was also regarded as a "luxury" by many people. Up to now, more than half a century, the taste is still original, the packaging is still original, and the taste of sorghum molasses is still desirable.
"Sweet, gluten-free and non-sticky" are the three most intuitive feelings of people who have eaten sorghum molasses in Qingdao. When I was a child, I could only eat it during the Spring Festival. It tastes sweet and soft. It is wrapped in a thin layer of sticky rice paper.
Every ancient flavor has its own story. We deeply feel that to inherit the old flavor, operators not only need to stabilize the "older generation", but also need to seize the "new generation". I hope I can leave some thoughts for the society and let the old taste go further.
Sorghum molasses is an unchangeable feeling in every old Qingdao, just like Qingdao's draft beer and green calcium milk biscuits, it warms the hearts and stomachs of Qingdao people.
Second, the origin of sorghum molasses actually there are several different views on the origin of sorghum molasses.
The first time was 1940, when the Japanese opened a candy store in Qingdao. An employee accidentally tried to make candy with sorghum powder, which was very successful, so he decided to name the candy sorghum molasses. Later, two other candy stores hired the employee one after another, improved the original formula and introduced different sorghum leaves. Maltose has become a specialty of Qingdao.
From 65438 to 0956, all the candy factories in Qingdao were merged. Later, they merged with the cold food factory to establish Qingdao Candy Cold Food Factory, and "Fotao brand sorghum molasses" became the trademark product of Qingdao Candy Cold Food Factory. There is a sigh here: besides sorghum molasses, there is also prawn crisp, which is also a characteristic brand of Qingdao Candy Cold Food Factory. Without shrimp candy, there are peanuts in one bite. Which Qingdao child didn't buy it?
The second statement is that in 1948, two brothers surnamed Liu founded Qingdao Jiuchang Fruit Factory, and it is said that sorghum molasses was the earliest sorghum molasses. It is said that Qingdao Food Co., Ltd. used to produce sorghum molasses. Qingdao Qingshi Food Co., Ltd., referred to as "Qingshi", is no stranger to Shandong friends. Another famous product, from snacks to calcium milk biscuits, also comes from blue stone.
3. Formula of sorghum molasses: sweet potato starch 100g, sugar 500g, water 250g, lemon juice 50g and corn starch 50g.
Exercise:
1, put 50 grams of corn starch in a pot and fry until cooked. You can also fry in an oven at 160℃ for 10 minutes.
2. Add a small amount of 250g water to the sweet potato starch, stir it for several times to a fine starch paste without particles, and then add 50g lemon juice.
3. Filter the starch paste into the pot. It is best to use a non-stick pan. Heat on low heat and stir in one direction at the same time. Add sugar three times while stirring.
4. Heat until the starch paste thickens and elongates, then turn off the fire, pour it into a mold covered with cooked corn starch, arrange it, let it cool, and cut it into the required size.
5. Finally, sprinkle a layer of cooked corn starch, and sorghum molasses will be ready. If you want to make fruit essence, you can change the same amount of sweet potato starch into fruit and vegetable powder, or you can change water into fruit juice.
The most important point of self-made sorghum maltose is that when the heat is very light, the made sorghum maltose is soft and not Q-shaped. When the heat is heavy, the made sorghum molasses is hard and does not draw, so it is necessary to master the state of boiling sugar.
