Beijing-style Deep-fried Dough Sticks
Beijing-style deep-fried dough sticks, also known as youtiao or Chinese crullers, are a popular breakfast and snack food in China. These crispy, golden-brown sticks are made from dough that is deep-fried until it is puffy and light. The dough is typically flavoured with salt, sugar and other seasonings, and it can be enjoyed on its own or dipped in soy milk or congee. Served hot and fresh, these deep-fried delights are a beloved part of Beijing's food culture.
