Youtiao
|
Youtiao (Simplified Chinese: 油条; Traditional Chinese: 油條; Pinyin: Yóutiáo) are long, golden deep-fried dough sticks with a crisp exterior and airy interior, eaten throughout China as a breakfast staple.[1]
Characteristics
Two strips are often stuck together before frying so the stick puffs open. Fresh youtiao are crunchy outside and fluffy inside; they soften as they cool.
Ingredients (overview)
Wheat dough with leavening (yeast, baking powder, or traditional alkaline recipes), salt, and oil for deep frying. Recipes vary by region and vendor.
History and culture
Youtiao are a nationwide breakfast icon paired with soy milk, Congee, or rice noodles wraps in some southern cities. They belong firmly in Chinese Snack and morning-market culture.
Serving and variations
Eaten plain, dipped in soy milk, or torn into Congee. See Chinese Snack and Congee.
