Method for making Lubu Bean Crispy Candy

Material selection

Raw materials: mainly soybeans, supplemented by black sesame, white sugar, malt sugar, etc

Soybeans: no breakage, no pests, no mold, the grains should be intact and fresh, the powder should be strong and the color should be pure, and there is no need to age the beans. Choose clean and impurity free Northeast beans, which are characterized by small and uniform grains

Black sesame: thin shell, thick flesh, sufficient oil content. Choose local sesame seeds

White sugar: Guangdong white sugar

Malt candy: Special grade glutinous rice candy

Preparation

⑴, Stir fry beans

Wash and dry the soybeans, then stir fry them until cooked. Stir fry requires a certain amount of "skill". A large pot should be cooked every 5 minutes, and the soybeans must be heated evenly without burning or sprouting

⑵. Remove the soybean shells

Peel off the soybean skins

⑶, Grinding and sieving

Grind the shelled soybeans into powder and sieve them with a sieve. In addition, grind sesame seeds (cooked) and white sugar into powder, sieve, and set aside for later use. Steam the flour and let it cool

⑷ Ingredients

Mix soybean powder, cooked flour, sesame powder, and sugar powder in a certain proportion, mix well and sieve, remove the powder particles, and set aside

⑸, Boiling Malt Sugar

Boil the maltose and oil in a pot, and depending on the climate, it is usually boiled to 110-120 ℃ to become aged sugar (boiled maltose). Take it out and place it in a heat transfer container, stew it in hot water, and maintain the temperature of the old sugar

⑹, Forming

Heat the mixture of soybean flour, cooked flour, sesame flour, and white sugar flour in a pan, take out a small amount and sprinkle it on the workbench, then add old sugar, sprinkle hot powder on the surface, and use a rolling pin to roll it into a square shape. Put the hot powder into it, then fold the two sides of the old sugar in half, use a rolling pin to thin it out, and then release the hot powder again. Repeat this folding process three times, and finally pinch it into a long strip by hand. Cut it straight and square into small pieces, and then use a wooden strip to squeeze and compact it tightly

Wrap the bean puff pastry in paper to obtain the finished product. Due to the susceptibility to moisture, it is better to store tofu in a tin box
