shaqima
Shaqima, also known as Saqima, is a food of the Manchu people. It was one of the sacrifices made in the Three Mausoleums outside the Pass in the Qing Dynasty. The original meaning was "dog's milk dipped in sugar." The noodles are fried and mixed with sugar into small pieces. There are many names about Shaqima, all of which are quite interesting. If you are interested, you can go and search for it.
Shaqima was one of my favorite snacks when I was a child. Especially when I left home to school, I would buy one every day to eat, which carried many memories of me. At that time, food didn't have to worry about being added to it, but now it's better to make it yourself. Take Shaqima for example. Even if no chemical raw materials such as borax were added, the thousand-rolling oil was inevitable, because this little guy used too much oil to make and was on par with frying fried dough sticks.
