Nougat Shaqima

Overview

One of the most popular sweets on the Internet is Nougat Sachima. I have always liked making shaqima, especially in autumn and winter. I would make some to eat from time to time, but I have never made nougat shaqima. When nougat is put into shaqima, what kind of delicious food will come out? You won’t know until you try it. Once you try it, you will never forget it. It will throw away ordinary shaqima by a few streets. Today’s Nougat Shaqima, I combined my experience in making Shaqima and Nougat, and combined them into one. Most of the recipes on the Internet use baking powder, but mine does not use it, but I have some tips to make the Shaqima without baking powder still soft and delicious, haha, dear friends, don’t miss it, this one has no additives, has a real milky fragrance, is soft and delicious, and is a dessert that can be made without using an oven. Don’t wait until you try it! It should also be noted that nougat is somewhat tough, so you need to use a sharp knife to cut it more perfectly. I used a Japanese steel serrated bread knife from Xuechuchu. This knife is really sharp. You don’t need to use force at all to cut the sachima. It opens immediately with the cutter. The cut surface is very smooth and the sachima will not deform at all.

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Crack the eggs into a basin that is oil-free and water-free, and beat with a whisk until the volume increases 2-3 times. It does not need to be completely beaten. It is basically enough to beat it to this state. In this way, when the noodles are fried, the Shaqima will be soft and there is no need for baking powder

  11. Add the fried noodles and chopped dried cranberries, pour the best on a non-stick oil cloth, and quickly knead into a ball. This step needs to be done in chunks, as the nougat dough will not stick well after it cools down
