【Chinese Fried Dough Sticks】
by MaomaoMom
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.

Place one piece on top of another, and press lightly in the centre with a chopstick (Picture 6). Gently lower 2 or 3 Youtiao sticks into hot oil (Picture 7). Turn dough on both sides continuously with a chopstick or tongs until it is golden brown. Repeat for the rest of dough. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
