Xichong Sweet Potato Dates
Sweet potato dates are a rice-based snack known for their golden color, crispy exterior, soft interior, and sweet, delicious taste. Cooking method: deep-fried. This popular snack originates from Xichong County in Nanchong City, Sichuan Province.
Mashed sweet potato and glutinous rice flour are mixed together, shaped into the form of a red date, brushed with egg wash, coated with breadcrumbs, and then slowly fried in vegetable oil until golden brown. They are then scooped out and placed on a plate.
Sugar is boiled with water, and then mixed with honey rose syrup and diluted glutinous rice slurry to create a semi-thick sauce, which is poured over the dates to finish.
Cooking tip: Be sure to use red-fleshed sweet potatoes.
