Fried Milk Chain

Fried Milk Chain

　　"Fried Milk Chain" is one of Yulin’s traditional famous snacks. It boasts an attractive color, a crispy yet tender texture, and a sweet, pleasant taste, often served to guests during banquets. As the name suggests, "Fried Milk Chain" is primarily made from "fresh goat or sheep milk," combined with egg whites, mung bean starch, and water. These ingredients are mixed evenly to form a milk paste, which is then heated until it becomes a thick paste. Starch is sprinkled on, and after flipping and turning, it is cooled. Once solidified, it is cut into pieces, fried in oil until golden brown, and then served with a sprinkle of white sugar. It has a rich milky flavor and high nutritional value, making it a delicious delicacy.

　　Ingredients: 500g cow (or goat) milk, 50g egg whites, 150g white sugar, 50g wet mung bean starch, 1000g cooked lard, and an appropriate amount of flour.

　　Preparation method:

　　1. In a bowl, mix 150g of milk, 50g of egg whites, and 50g of starch until well blended.

　　2. In a pot, heat 350g of milk and 50g of sugar until boiling, then slowly pour in the milk mixture. Once the mixture turns into a paste-like consistency, remove the pot from the heat and pour it into a porcelain dish (the milk paste should be about 1 cm thick). Allow it to cool and solidify.

　　3. Sprinkle a layer of dry flour on the cutting board, flip the solidified milk paste onto the flour, and then sprinkle another thin layer of flour on top. Cut it into diamond-shaped pieces, then roll them in dry flour to coat evenly.

　　4. In a wok, heat 1000g of cooked lard until it reaches 80% heat. Scatter the milk pieces into the hot oil (use chopsticks to separate any that stick together). Once they float to the surface and turn golden brown, remove them and place on a plate. Sprinkle with 100g of sugar before serving.
