Recipe for Kẹo Dồi Nam Dinh
Combine sugar and malt over low heat until the mixture reaches a thick, sticky consistency. Add a tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent the mixture from hardening.
Cooking Sugar and Malt
Transfer the cooked mixture to a bowl. Using your hands, knead and stretch the dough on a column with nails until it becomes elastic and sticky.
Making Kẹo Dồi
Spread the dough thinly on an oiled plastic sheet. Add the roasted peanuts, coated in sugar and vanilla, in the center and roll it up tightly to prevent the filling from falling out.
This step requires two people working together. One person shapes the candy into a log while the other cuts it into 3-4cm long pieces. Finally, roll the pieces in powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
