Chinese fried dough sticks (Youtiao in Chinese) is a traditional Chinese breakfast food, and one of my childhood favorites. I don’t make this often at home since it is a deep fried food. My son Maomao has requested many times to have Youtiao as breakfast for a change. Here it is, I used food grade swelling agent and the result is amazing.
