[Candied sweet potato] It has a sweet taste, it is a beet, and it can also be eaten as a snack. If this dish is in a restaurant, it is a dish that tests the chef's fire control.

The so-called "silk drawing" is to boil the syrup to thicken and immediately put the ingredients in, and mix the ingredients and the syrup evenly; a lot of [silk] will be pulled out when the syrup is turned, so it is called [silk drawing].

Of course, we use a non-stick pan to make this dish at home. I believe everyone knows that [sugar] is the easiest to stick to the pan; once the pan is stuck, it will soon become sticky, so this dish is difficult to succeed. In addition to not sticking the pot, heat control is also very important.

Whether it’s frying, frying, stir-frying, or braising in a non-stick pan, you don’t need to worry about messing up the dishes, and the presentation is still very good; I like to coat the skin of my dishes with cornstarch, so that the skin will be very tender. slip. "

4. After the sweet potatoes are deep-fried until the color changes to the original dark orange, they will be cooked through in about 4-5 minutes. At this time, you can use chopsticks to poke a piece of sweet potatoes. If the chopsticks can poke in, you can pick up the sweet potatoes.

5. Put a piece of kitchen paper in the bowl to absorb the excess oil, so that the sweet potatoes are easier to hang on the syrup.

6. After washing the non-stick pan, put in sugar and water, and cook on low heat until the sugar dissolves.

7. After the granulated sugar is dissolved, continue to cook until it is thick and foamy.

8. At this time, after the syrup is thick, it will quickly become the color of [caramel], and the yellow color does not need to be cooked to dark brown.

9. After turning off the heat, pour in the fried sweet potatoes and stir evenly, so that the sweet potatoes are coated with syrup; at this time, the syrup will be in a slight state, and it is better to eat while it is hot.

Tips:
It doesn’t take long to deep-fry sweet potatoes, they only need to be cooked in 5 minutes.
The prepared candied sweet potatoes should be eaten while they are hot, so that you can enjoy the crispness of sweet potatoes and syrup.
