Among the snacks in old Beijing, there is a traditional food called "fried cake". There are two ways to make fried cakes, one is fried cakes with hot noodles, and the other is fried cakes with glutinous rice noodles. The fried cake is white flour. The noodles are boiled in a boiling water pot. The ratio of flour to water should be appropriate. After being boiled, take advantage of the warmth, apply oil with your hands to grab a piece of noodles and fry it while wrapping the stuffing. It's good to eat it hot, but when it cools, it's cold and hard. If you go back to the pot, it won't be like that anymore. You can't eat it!
Another method is to use 80% of glutinous rice flour, mix it with 20% of white flour, combine the flour, put the dough into a basin, and ferment it with water. After the dough is cooked, you can wrap the stuffing and fry it in an oil pan. After frying, the skin is crisp and soft inside. It is good to eat when cooled, and the taste is still so good. Generally, fried cakes are filled with red bean stuffing or bean paste stuffing. They taste in three layers. First, the skin is crisp, then the dough is smooth and soft. The stuffing at the innermost is sweet. Take a bite. It's authentic, ha ha!

1. The dough should be fermented while submerged in water to ensure it tastes good and retains its texture even when cold. When the dough is placed in water, it will initially sit at the bottom. Once it has undergone initial fermentation, it will float to the surface. At this point, pour off the water and use the dough; there is no need to let it ferment too much.
2. For fried cakes and sesame balls, they should be placed in the pot with cold oil; you can also put them in before turning on the heat. The temperature needs to be increased gradually. When the cakes and balls start to float to the surface, continue frying until they turn golden brown, then remove them. If the oil temperature is not controlled well, they can easily burst and cause burns, so pay close attention to the techniques and safety precautions while frying. Using this type of leavened dough is safer for making fried cakes and sesame balls because it expands and is less likely to burst. Unleavened dough is the most prone to bursting and does not taste good when cold.
