How to make Hue sesame candy

The candy processing begins by roasting sesame and peanuts, then cooking sugar with rice flour mixed with water. When the mixture becomes thick and changes color, add malt and roasted peanuts, then mix well. 

Next, a layer of golden roasted sesame is spread on the mold, then the candy is poured on and rolled into a thin layer. When the candy is completely cool, it will be gently removed from the mold. Then use a knife to cut it into bite-sized pieces. After cutting, each piece of Hue sesame candy will be wrapped tightly with plastic wrap and placed in the cool compartment of the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to make the candy harder and more delicious.

Today, although production facilities still maintain traditional methods, machines are used to support stages such as kneading, mixing, and cutting the candy. Although the recipe for making Hue sesame candy is quite simple, creating soft, chewy, non-burnt, and delicious pieces of candy is an art of its own. A batch of Hue sesame candy is considered high-quality when it reaches the right level of sweetness, softness, and aroma, and can be stored for up to 3 months without spoilage.
