Method

1. 1 Knead the flour with yeast, a little sugar, and water until it forms a smooth dough, then let it rise for 1 hour.
2. 2 Roll out the dough thinly and cut it into finger-sized sticks.
3. 3 Fry over low heat at 150 degrees for 8 minutes until the sticks are crispy from the inside out.
4. 4 Cook brown sugar with a little water until the sugar syrup forms threads and begins to crystallize around the edges of the pot.
5. 5 Pour the fried sticks into the pan, stir quickly to coat them with sugar, sprinkle with black sesame seeds, and spread them out on a tray to keep them separate.
