When coming to the Lunar New Year, I wondered why the sugar cake did not flow out?

Vietnamese cuisine has long been known for its sophistication in flavor and processing. And drifting cakes and vegetarian cakes are no exception.

is a meaningful Chinese New Year. Han real means "cold food" - so my grandfather and I created the floating cake, vegetarian cake symbolizing the cold food to worship the ancestors and the sky.

This very elegant food is also extremely suitable when the weather is gradually changing to the hot summer day.

Vegetarian cake drifting.

But another interesting thing that not everyone noticed - that's the way of the drifting cake. Why undergo "solid crushing of the squeeze hand", "seven floating three sinks" but the small sugar still does not flow?

Is the first clue in . "childhood" of the other road?

From sugarcane to sugar

Multiply the floating cake made from sugar. How are sugar be made?

Depending on the manual or modern method, but generally include the following steps. Press the sugar cane to get water, then heat it hot and long so that the water is concentrated into molasses, brown.

Sugarcane molasses will continue to heat slightly until it becomes sticky. Then pour it into the mold, using a knife to cut it into pieces, we have obtained the sugar.

High street.

So the phoenix does not undergo a period of small grinding and natural bleaching like refined sugar. That makes up large pieces, featuring a distinctive golden to dark brown color.

In fact, the more molasses it contains, the richer the color and flavor of the sugar, and the harder it is to cook . In addition, they also have very high moisture absorption so they must be stored in a cool place.

Remember these characteristics of the way, because it will fully reveal your "qualities" in . the pot.

. when sugar popped into boiling water

In fact, sugar in general and sugar in particular do not "flow" as we thought. From a scientific point of view, they are complex organic compounds that, when exposed to heat, dissociate into other simpler bodies, which are "flowing".

There is no exact temperature for the sugar to flow, it depends on the heat.

And there was no exact temperature for the sugar to flow out. It depends on the heat. Hot enough, sugar will flow in the following 2 cases:

Case 1: Floating fire sparks and then suddenly stops

Sugar will flow when you raise the temperature very quickly and at a very high level. This of course does not happen when cooking the cake.

Case 2: Boil long time to penetrate deeply into the urine

This is also the way we cook light fire to cook drifting cakes. When boiling long enough, accumulating enough heat to about 140 - 160 degrees C, the sugar may flow. But don't hurry, it's with the white road.

But sugar is not in crystalline form but in the form of dry tablets, so the necessary heat level is even higher. But when the dough is just cooked, the "seven floating three sinks" is removed, how to touch the heat, causing the sugar to melt!

Drifting cakes, vegetarian cakes symbolize cold food to worship the ancestors, heaven and earth.

And do you remember the characteristics of the street?They contain a lot of molasses, so it is very hygroscopic, which means that it needs a lot of water to flow , but the sugar is covered by cake flour!

This explains why the casters are not well-tuned, causing the water to "touch" the sugar inside, then the sugar will flow.

Some families even told each other to choose sugar that is pale yellow when boiled and will sooner dissolve. It also gives a slightly moistened sugar so that it can be easily dissolved (but does not flow), when biting the piece, it feels like molasses.

This "secret" does not know randomly or has intentions, but has very cleverly used the physical characteristics of the path as we have just analyzed above!

The more we learn, the more we will love the Vietnamese vegetarian cakes, because even a single sugar is full of such tastes!
