Caramelized fried fruit
Caramelized fried fruit is one of the classic desserts found in Chinese restaurants. I must say that it came out better than I expected! It is a dish that does not involve the use of added sugars (except of course for caramel!) because the natural sweetness of the fruit, wrapped in a crunchy batter and enriched by the delicious touch of caramel, is the master... the problem was getting it on the plates with all the petty thieves who were around while I was frying!
Ingredients
1/2 pineapple1 apple2 1/2 bananas1 lemon2 eggs150 g flour1 sachet yeast1 pinch of salt200 ml water300 g sugarOil for fryingSesame seeds for garnish
Preparation
Cut the fruit into chunks and sprinkle a little lemon juice to prevent it from blackening. Divide the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg yolks with the water and add yeast and flour. Beat the egg whites until stiff with a pinch of salt and add to the mixture. Fill a saucepan with plenty of oil, when it reaches the temperature dip each piece of fruit in the batter and immerse in the boiling oil. Place on paper towels. Prepare the caramel by melting the sugar over low heat in a saucepan.In the meantime, toast a handful of sesame seeds. Place the fruit in small bowls, pour the caramel over them and decorate with sesame seeds. Put two long crossed chopsticks that will serve as cutlery and decoration.
