What is sata andagi?
SATA andgi is a traditional fried ball of sweet dough exclusive to Okinawa, a Japanese island located about 400 miles (644 km) from the southernmost coast of the country. The relative isolation of this island has led to a unique culture and culinary tradition. Okinawa was also influenced by almost thirty years of the American military occupation from the end of World War II to 1972. Deep fried confectionery remains popular despite modern introductions, such as coolers with icing. English, like Japanese, phonetic attempts to pronunciation can bring variations such as Saataa andagii or Anragii. The most accepted spelling reflects the stretched vowels "Saata Adagii". To help revive the Japanese War, the US provided wheat flour, among other things, forms of assipostoj. These are two main ingredients of SATA andagi. The consistency is similar to the consistency of thick dough for biscuits. Common variations of ingredients include unprocessed brown sugar or small addition of baking powder for lighter texture. CreativeIncrements may include pieces of solid fruit or spicy vegetables.
The dough ball, anywhere from the golf ball to the size of the tennis ball, is dropped into a pot or deep pan of oil. Usually rapeseed oil is used through relatively high heat. A deep fried ball quickly develops a dark brown bark. When its interior cooks and expands, the ball often becomes angry and resembles a tulip flower. When exposed, yellow-white fries on bright, golden brown, it is removed and the excess oil is allowed to drain.
Unlike the pastry air of stewed buns or light chewing roast yeast bread, SATA andagi have a texture similar to a very thick cake and is quite dry. His closest Western counterpart is a fried donut commonly called Fitter. According to most confectionery, however, SATA Andagi is usually not too sweet. Eats warm or cooled to room temperature.
in ModerSATA andgi lost part of their popularity. It is somewhat negatively associated with the slender times of the postwar occupation. People aware of health can be somewhat hesitant to consume deep fried doughs with a high carbohydrate content. However, it is a popular, festive delicacy for people from Okinawa living in the US island state of Hawaii.
