Fry for about 2 minutes, the steamed bread strips are golden yellow, and when the skin is crisp, you can take out the pan and control the oil for use.

3. Start cooking after the steamed bread is fried.

Add a spoonful of clear water to the pot, add 50g of white sugar, heat slowly to melt the white sugar gradually, stir quickly with a spoon until the white sugar bubbles, and when the big bubbles turn into small bubbles, pour the sugar juice into the fried steamed bread strips and stir quickly for several times.

When the sugar juice is evenly covered with steamed bread strips, take it out of the pot immediately.
