Instructions
Reconstituting Yuba
Fold the yuba sheets in half and cut into 1 1/2" strips.
Place the strips in a very large bowl and cover with 3 cup of water. Toss to coat and soak for 2 minutes. The strips with soften and become opaque in color.
Take a handful of yuba strips and squeeze out the excess water. Transfer to a dry bowl.
In a small bowl, combine all of the marinade ingredients. Pour over the yuba strips and toss to coat.
In a small bowl mix the cornstarch and water into a paste.
Wrapping The Sugar Cane Sticks
Use a spoon to spread a layer of cornstarch glue onto the sugar cane leaving 1½" uncoated.
Begin wrapping the sugar cane with the marinaded yuba strips using some tension to create a tight layers. Overlap the strips and build the layers to form a drumstick shape leaving the uncoated portion of the sugar cane bare as a handle.
Use a piece of plastic film to wrap the drumstick twisting the ends tightly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the yuba to firm up.
Cooking The Drumsticks
In a small bowl combine all of the sauce ingredients and mix well.
Unwrap the chilled drumsticks. Use a pastry brush and gently brush on a coating of sauce. Allow the sauce to soak in and after a few minutes repeat with another layer of sauce.
Preheat air fryer to 325˚F(163˚C).
Lightly the bottom of the air fryer before adding the drumsticks. Cook for 4 minutes before flipping and cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the glaze is caramelized. For added shine brush with a little vegetable oil. Serve immediately.
