Quick-fried dough sticks
Speedier youtiao method using an egg-enriched, lightly leavened dough rested and kneaded repeatedly, then stretched and deep-fried into puffy golden crullers with crisp shell, airy interior.
Instructions
- 1

Weigh the dry powders and then mix them evenly.
- 2

One egg (medium is fine), half a catty of water.
- 3

Add cooking oil and eggs to the well-mixed flour.
- 4

Stir with chopsticks until it forms a flocculent texture.
- 5

Push the dough from the edges toward the center and knead it into a soft dough.
- 6

Knead the dough three times, once every 15 minutes. Cover the dough to let it ferment (I didn’t put it in a warm place, but it still fermented relatively quickly; if you want it to ferment faster, use warm water to knead the dough and place it in a warm place).
- 7

After about 3 hours, the dough will have risen and be ready. Roll the dough into a long strip and divide it into 2 pieces. Roll one of the pieces into a rectangular dough sheet (the rested dough does not need to be kneaded again).
- 8

Cut into strips.
- 9

Apply water in the middle, two sides opposite each other, press a line in the middle.
- 10

Another piece of dough is also made into a youtiao base.
- 11

Put an appropriate amount of cooking oil in the pot and heat it to the fifth level, then add the dough sticks for frying.
- 12

Flip over and continue frying until golden yellow, then take out.
- 13

Then put the dough sticks into the oil for frying (I use a cast iron pan to fry the dough sticks).
- 14

A whole batch of youtiao is fried, and each youtiao for breakfast is golden in color.
- 15

Plump and chubby, crispy and fragrant in texture, golden in color, and appetizing.
- 16

Freshly squeezed soy milk.
- 17

Soy milk with fried dough sticks, delicious and nutritious.
