　　Crispy Sweet and Savory Skewers

　　　Ingredients/Seasonings:

　　Round-shaped sweet and savory skewers

　　½ lb (you can also add burdock strips)

　　Strip-shaped sweet and savory skewers

　　½ lb

　　Seasoning A: Thick soy sauce

　　2 tbsp

　　Salad oil

　　½ tsp

　　Fresh chili pepper (sliced)

　　½ piece

　　Fruit sugar

　　2/3 tbsp

　　Seasoning B: Spicy sweet sauce

　　2 tbsp

　　Preparation Steps:

　　1. First, thread the sweet and savory skewers onto bamboo skewers: for the round-shaped ones, use two skewers side by side to make threading easier; for the strip-shaped ones, thread two per skewer, and prepare them in order.

　　2. Mix Seasoning A evenly and set aside.

　　3. Place the grill on the heat source. Brush the skewers with Seasoning A once, then place them on the grill over medium-high heat. Be sure to turn them frequently to prevent burning. Once both sides are well flavored, brush on a second layer of Seasoning A and grill until both sides are slightly dry. You can also directly brush spicy sweet sauce onto the skewers or serve it on the side for dipping.

　　Those who prefer milder flavors will enjoy this. It’s commonly found on the streets, in night markets, and at small food stalls in Chenzhou. You can add your own ingredients. Those who like spicy food can add red oil chili as well.
