"Mat-tang"/맛탕/甜薯块

This is a very small & popular snack in Korea.
In  1950,1960 sweet potatoes were the main foodstuff for the low income group. Recently, it has been crowned as " well being food". In Korea, quite a number of  cancer patients, sweet potatoes are the main food after surgery.

这是一道非常简单的蕃薯小食。
在50，60年代蕃薯应该是一般小市民，填饱肚子的食物之一。曾几何时，它已冠上了 “well being”的名堂！在韩国，有不少癌症患者，在动过手术后，以蕃薯作为主食；它也是节食者的宠儿。。。
以往，在严寒的冬天，在路旁常可看到小贩在售卖烤蕃薯。。站在木炭烤炉旁，双手捧着刚从炉子里取出来的热腾腾蕃薯，在口里，又汤又热，却増添了几许温暖。。。去年，蕃薯欠丰收，身价暴涨，此景难寻。。。。今年，价格也不菲。。

Ingredients:
2 medium size of sweet potatoes
corn syrup( is available at the Korean supermarket, we call it "물엿")
roasted black sesame seeds or white sesame seeds
1 tsp of frying flour

Method:

1. Peel the skin of the sweet potatoes. Wash and drain it by kitchen tower. Cut it in cube form.

2. Put the sweet potatoes and flour in a plastic bag and shake it. The purpose is to coat the sweet potatoes evenly with the flour.

3.. Heat the cooking oil in a pan, fry the sweet potatoes till golden brown color.

4. After frying, use the kitchen tower to remove the oil on the sweet potatoes(optional).

5. Coat the sweet potatoes by adding in the corn syrup while it is still hot ( it depends on your taste, for me, I don't put much because it will be too sweet). Sprinkle some sesame seeds on it.

材料：
蕃薯 2 粒
韩式麦芽糖 少许 （在韩国超市可买到，称为 “물엿")
黑芝麻或白芝麻少许
1 tsp 面粉

做法：
1. 将蕃薯去皮，洗净抹干水份，切成小块状。

2. 将薯块和面粉放入一塑胶袋，摇一摇，让面粉均匀地沾在薯块上。

3.. 在锅里倒入少许油，待热后，将薯块放入，炸至金黄色 （ 一般上，我都不用大量的油来炸。因为用少量的油，所以必须常翻动薯块，这样才能将每一面炸至金黄色）

4.. 炸熟后，再用纸巾轻轻抹掉薯块上的油份（因为我没用大量的油，所以薯块上没含大量的油）

5..趁热，倒入少许的麦芽糖，拌均，再撒些芝麻即可。（一般上，我也不倒入太多的麦芽糖，那会太甜。仿佛是只让薯块穿上一层薄薄的薄纱即可）
