In Chinese history, the famous Yubi City has experienced two major wars. The Gao Huan regime of Eastern Wei launched two attacks on the Yu Wentai regime of Western Wei in 542 and 546 AD, both of which ended in Gao Huan's failure. Song Yiwang, the imperial censor of the Ming Dynasty, once wrote a poem saying: "When the carriage turns into Jishan City, there is still a jade jade camp by the city; The bones of war only remain in the wasteland, and the sound of Xiao Xiao falling into the water is filled with sorrow. The area around Yubi City in the southern part of Fen River is a battlefield camp. Due to wars and disasters, the people living here, although lush with vegetation, are plagued by wild animals and venomous scorpions. Half of those who are poisoned die. To curse scorpion venom, on the second day of the second lunar month every year, every household pulls and twists good noodles into long strips, twists them into scorpion tails, deep fries them, and eats them, which is called "biting scorpion tails".

How to make Jishan Fried Dough Twists

Raw materials

There is a difference between sweet ones with added sugar (sprinkled with powdered sugar) and those without added sugar<41

Step

Preparation of loosening agent: add 0.1kg of cold water to alum and 0.35kg of cold water to alkali powder to form solutions respectively, then slowly pour the alkali water into the alum water, mix it with a shovel, and stir it until there is no foam. Ready to use. During operation, do not mix alum powder with alkali powder in some water to prevent splashing and affect safety. This type of loosening agent is used to neutralize acid and alkali, produce carbonic acid gas, and expand it, resulting in less fuel consumption and a brittle product. In addition, baking soda, alkaline water, or yeast can also be used to make dough with a leavening agent. After mixing flour with sugar, oil, and leavening agent evenly, add about 1.5 kilograms of water to make the dough. Before molding, the dough should be left standing for 40 minutes. If it is not left standing, it will become dead Fried Dough Twists and affect the taste

Molding: Cut the dough into small pieces of the required weight, and knead each piece into slender strips about 40-50 centimeters long, with uniform thickness. When operating, pay attention to rubbing and not stretching, otherwise it will cause the finished product to shrink into a "short and chubby shape". After kneading, it is double twisted into two strands of rope shape, and then double twisted into four strands of hinge chain shape, which is the green body. The green body requires uniform length

Cooking: Heat the oil in a pot, add the green clay, gently stir with special chopsticks, and when it floats and turns golden, it can be removed. If powdered sugar is needed for the appearance, it is best to mix it temporarily during sales. If mixed too early, the powdered sugar is easily wetted by oil, affecting its color and luster

Quality standards

The appearance should be thin and uniform, with the middle section (excluding the two ends) twisted at least four times. Crispy texture with no signs of softness or toughness.
