in Spun Syrup
INGREDIENTS
1 lb (500 g) firm, slightly
tart apples
3 1/2 oz or 11 tbsp (100 g)
flour
1/2 cup (125 g) rock sugar
or granulated sugar
1 egg
2 cups (500 ml) vegetable
oil for deep-frying; use about
4 1/2 oz (130 ml)
1 tbsp sesame oil
RECIPE
Peel the apples and cut into
diamond-shaped pieces or wedges.
Mix the egg and flour into a batter.
Coat the apple pieces with the
batter.
Heat the oil in a wok to about
350oF (175oC),
or until a sliver of ginger or
a piece of green leaf sizzles
when tossed into the oil. Add
the apple pieces and deep-fry
1 minute or until the pieces float
to the heat surface. Remove and
drain well.
Pour all the oil out of the
wok. Add 1 cup of boiling water
and the rock sugar. Bring to a
boil, them turn the heat to low
and cook, stirring constantly,
until the syrup spins a thread.
Add the apple pieces. Turn and
toss carefully so each piece is
covered with the syrup. Remove
and serve immediately, before
the syrup hardens. Sprinkle with
the sesame oil. Dip each piece
of apple into a bowl of cold water
to make it cool enough to eat.
