Shaqima, a sweet, fluffy, and slightly chewy Chinese snack, is loved by all ages. Making it at home is easier than you think! Here’s a simple recipe to satisfy your cravings.
Ingredients:
- 200g all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 50g sugar (adjust to taste)
- 50g milk (or water)
- Oil for frying
- Syrup: 100g sugar, 30ml water, 1 tsp honey
Steps:
1. Prepare the dough: Whisk eggs and sugar until fluffy. Add milk and mix well. Gradually fold in flour to form a smooth, thick batter (no lumps).
2. Fry the noodles: Heat oil to 160°C. Pour the batter through a sieve with large holes into the oil, creating thin noodle-like strands. Fry until golden (about 2-3 minutes), then drain excess oil.
3. Make the syrup: Boil sugar, water, and honey until thickened (about 5 minutes).
4. Assemble Shaqima: Quickly mix the fried noodles with the syrup while hot. Press into a mold or tray, sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional), and let it cool. Once set, cut into small pieces.
Tips:
- Control oil temperature to avoid burning.
- Work fast when mixing noodles with syrup to ensure even coating.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.
Enjoy your homemade shaqima—crunchy outside, soft inside, and irresistibly sweet!
