Candied Root Vegetables

Directions

1. 1
   Wash the sweet potato and burdock root well then wipe with paper towel to dry.
2. 2
   Slice the root vegetables into strips. There is no need to peel the sweet potato and burdock root.
3. 3
   Coat the sweet potato and burdock root with flour. You can slightly tap the root vegetables after coating to remove excess flour as you only need a thin layer of flour coating.
4. 4
   Pour oil in a deep frying pan then heat until it reaches deep frying temperature, about 160°C.
5. 5
   Carefully drop the root vegetables in the hot oil then deep fry. Remove the root vegetable sticks once it turns brownish in color. This would take about 3 minutes.
6. 6
   Heat a pan using medium heat then add sugar, sesame oil and sesame seeds. Mix the ingredients well then add the deep fried root vegetables.
7. 7
   Once the sugar melts lower the heat and continue mixing until the root vegetables are evenly coated.
8. 8
   Remove from pan then add some more sesame seeds on top before serving.
