Original Shaqima

Overview

I don’t want to make biscuits and cakes, but want to try something new~ My husband likes to eat Shaqima. I went to the imported food counter in the supermarket a few days ago and bought a box of Hong Kong Shaqima. The result was very disappointing~ So I decided to try it at home~ My husband said that the ones bought in supermarkets from Hong Kong and Macau are too weak! This is a very friendly little dessert that does not require an oven or complicated materials. You can make it at home~ Friends can start making it~~~

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Prepare materials. 220 grams of ordinary flour, 5 grams of baking powder (optional), 3 eggs, 100 grams of white sugar, 100 grams of maltose, 40 grams of water, a little cornstarch (for anti-sticking), a little vegetable oil (for frying).

  2. Sift the flour and baking powder, beat in 3 eggs and mix well. (It will feel a little sticky after mixing, so you can sprinkle some cornstarch on it).

  5. Sprinkle some cornstarch on the noodles to prevent them from sticking (otherwise they will stick together when fried, which is very troublesome).

  8. Make syrup. Pour the white sugar, maltose, and water together into a pot (preferably a non-stick pot) and cook until a lot of small bubbles appear. Then slowly simmer over low heat until you can pull up a very thin thread with chopsticks (you need to be very patient for this. It won't work if you don't cook it well or if you can't).

  9. Pour the noodles into the cooked syrup, stir quickly, and try to coat each noodle with the syrup. After mixing, place it in a square box (the box should be covered with plastic wrap first to prevent sticking). While it's still warm, press it down flat with your hands.
