The Dough Pull
The dough should be stretchy and chewy without being too sticky. Traditional stalls use a large pot and pull the dough with big metal sticks to get the texture right. It sticks to your teeth in the best way.
The Nutty Coating
The peanut mix needs to be fresh. If the peanuts taste stale or oily, the whole dish is ruined. Some places add a bit of toasted white sesame for extra fragrance. The sugar ratio should provide a crunch without being cloying.
Quick answers
- Is there a black version?
- Yes, some stalls offer a black sesame coating instead of the usual peanut one.
- Should I eat it immediately?
- Definitely. The sugar starts to melt into the dough after a while, making it watery.
