Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Knead the dough stick noodles into a ball, folding the dough from all sides to the middle each time, let it stand for 15 minutes and fold the dough again, repeat 3 times, cover with film and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours (or mix the dough the night before, take out and return to room temperature the next day), roll into a long strip, no need to knead the dough (I forgot to take a picture of the dough).

   

2. 2 Cut into equal width strips.

   

3. 3 Apply water in the middle, overlap the two pieces, and press the line in the middle.

   

4. 4 Heat the soybean oil in the pot to 60% heat, add the dough sticks and fry them, turning them constantly.

   

5. 5 When the color is golden, remove the fried dough sticks (I usually use an iron pan for frying fried dough sticks).

   

6. 6 Then put in a deep-fried dough stick. If the temperature is too high, it will be easy. If the temperature is too low, the deep-fried dough sticks will not rise and will not puff up.

   

7. 7 The fried dough sticks come out of the pan and have a good puffing effect.

   

8. 8 Take out 2 more fried dough sticks.

   

9. 9 Cut the cross-section of the fried dough sticks, and they will be puffy without dead ends, no dough knots, and the effect of layering the dough into layers.

   

10. 10 The veins are evenly puffed and the layers are clear, and the texture is crispy and delicious. It is the best combination with fried dough sticks for breakfast.
