[Sca-cooks] "Sugared Cocoons" from Qimin Yaoshu

[Alec Story]

A while back in the discussion on malt sugar, Johnna asked me to translate
the recipe for what I thought was sugar floss in addition to my other
recipes <http://brewing.alecstory.org/2017/02/a-few-cooking-recipes.html>.
It turns out that it's actually for dry-fried rice or millet noodles soaked
in syrup.

As a reminder, this is from a 544 CE farm manual from northeastern China.

Has anyone cooked anything resembling these?  Does anyone have an idea what
effect the *Gardenia jasminoides* seeds/fruits might have on the flavor?
