Tang Huo Shao

With a history of more than 300 years, Tang Huo Shao is a popular traditional Manchu food. Crunchy outer shell and soft interior with brown sugar and sesame paste make it a perfect breakfast or afternoon snack. Since its moderate sweetness and softness, Tang Huo Shao is especially favored by the elderly.
The main ingredients of Tang Huo Shao are flour, sugar and sesame paste. During the cooking process, one of the most important steps is to precisely the timing and the amount of heat. With too much heat, the snack would be too hard and lose crispness.
As for the origin of Tang Huo Shao, it is said that in the Ming Dynasty there was a Hui people named Liu Dashun. After coming to the capital, he found that it had convenient transport and numerous business opportunities, so he decided to settle down and make a living. Later, Liu opened a small shop with the name Da Shun Zhai specializing in making and selling Tang Huo Shao. In the Qing Dynasty, Tang Huo Shao has already become a famous food.
