Here are some creative ways to eat sesame
Sesame has always been a superior health food, with a rich aroma and delicious taste. The way to eat sesame varies from place to place, but some creative ways of eating are sure to brighten your eyes. These sesame crisp cookies, pumpkin sesame balls, sesame peanut candy, sweet potato crisp strips, and keto sesame cookies are not only novel but also absolutely delicious.
Firstly, sesame crisp cookies
Ingredients: 2 egg whites, 25g sugar, 40g low-gluten flour + 10g cornstarch, 60g white sesame seeds, 35g salad oil, a little salt.
6. 1. Mix egg whites with sugar, mix evenly, and do not whip the egg whites.
5. Add low-gluten flour, sesame seeds, salt, and oil, mix evenly.
4. Place parchment paper, spread it as thin as possible, and bake at 140 degrees for 15 minutes.
Secondly, one of the golden balls — pumpkin sesame balls
Ingredients: 200g pumpkin, 200g glutinous rice flour, 15g sugar (adjust according to personal sweetness preference), and an appropriate amount of white sesame seeds.
1. Peel and remove the seeds from the pumpkin, wash it clean, steam it until tender, then mash it into pumpkin puree (do not pour out the water inside the steamed pumpkin, please).
2, After the pumpkin puree cools, add sugar, glutinous rice flour, and mix into a uniform dough.
3, Divide the dough into evenly sized pieces, roll them into balls, and then roll them in sesame seeds several times until the pieces are evenly coated with sesame seeds.
4, When the oil is heated to about 4-5 degrees, roll the sesame-coated balls into the oil along the edge of the pot, then turn the heat down after the oil boils. At this point, you will notice that the sesame balls start to float. At this time, we are ready to do the repeated pressing work (press gently and repeatedly), which is the key to making the balls hollow and round. The amount of oil should not be too little, at least enough to cover the sesame balls.
5, When the sesame balls are golden yellow and the volume increases, they are ready to be taken out. (Start frying when the sesame balls float, and fry for 4-5 more minutes! The specific time depends on the heat, oil quantity, and number of sesame balls.)
Three, Sesame Peanut Candy
Ingredients: 200g roasted black sesame seeds, 200g peanuts, 200g maltose, 200g white sugar, 100g water.
1, Mix peanuts and black sesame seeds, and try to keep them warm.
2, Mix maltose, white sugar, and water, and it is best to caramelize them in a flat-bottomed pot.
3, Boil the sugar over medium heat, stir with a wooden spoon to keep the sugar temperature even, and when the sugar turns slightly yellow, dip a chopstick into some syrup, then stick it into cold water, and taste the chopstick. If it is crispy, the sugar is done. Then add the peanuts and black sesame seeds to the pot, stir them evenly, and cut into pieces while hot.
Four, Sesame Sweet Potato Crisps
Ingredients: 150g sweet potato puree, 150g all-purpose flour, 90g butter, 50g granulated sugar, 2g salt;
Surface decoration: 1 egg yolk + 1 tablespoon of water, an appropriate amount of black and white sesame seeds.
1, Cut the sweet potato into pieces, steam them until soft, then mash them with a fork into a paste, let them cool, and set aside.
2, Cut the butter into small pieces and place them in the all-purpose flour, mix the butter and flour with your hands or a fork to form a sandy texture, and be careful not to let the butter melt.
3, Mix salt, sugar, and sweet potato puree well to form a dough, let it stand for about 15 minutes, then set aside.
4, Place the dough in a plastic bag (this prevents sticking when rolling), roll it out into a rectangular thin sheet about 3mm thick.
5, Brush a layer of egg yolk liquid on the surface, sprinkle with black and white sesame seeds evenly, and cut into strips.
6, Arrange neatly on the baking paper, then place in an oven preheated to 170 degrees and bake for about 25 minutes. After baking, do not take them out immediately, leave them in the oven to cool completely, then take them out.
Five, Ketogenic Sesame Cookies
Ingredients: 20g butter, a little salt, 100g almond powder, 4g baking powder, 50g cream, 4g psyllium husk powder (optional), substitute sugar (optional), 35g black sesame seeds.
1, Mix all the ingredients well, stir with a spoon, then add the butter and mix with cream to form a dough.
2, Add black sesame seeds to the dough and knead for a while longer, then shape it into 10 small pieces. Bake in the middle layer of the oven at 160 degrees for 20 minutes.
3, Take out the baked goods after roasting and let them cool before placing them in a sealed container to prevent them from getting damp and soft.
