Thank you Mandy for teaching us how to tell if Baking Soda/Baking Powder are still active/fresh, otherwise we'll end up with "deflated duds". I know your recipe will ALWAYS taste better than the restaurant, because we really don't know how "OLD" their oil is. LOL!

How much amount of water please?

I loved these as a kid. One of my favorite deep fried treats, along with scallion pancakes and spring rolls. I haven't had these in over 15 years! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

[@malar9015]

Love this recipe ! Thank you, Mandy. After trying 3-4 other failed recipes online, this is the winner. Thank you for taking the time to explain everything so carefully.

[@Lalscell90]

I'm glad to have found your channel a few years ago!!!!! My chinese cooking game is greatly improved and I'm able to free style bc you explain everything so well!! I hope you get 1M subscribers soon!!!

[@visootphongsathorn3847]

Thank you for sharing your technique. Before adopting your technique, I had a lot of difficulty achieving consistent results. I am a novice baker and not very good at kneading (stretching and folding included). Your technique is so simple.

[@pascaledominique170]

In 1987 when I was in Xiamen, we Americans were served this treat. We did not know the name, and called them "dough bones." We enjoyed them very much!

[@nonstophorizon]

I've learned something very important when making this recipe, and that's to make 3 batches of this dough every time I make it so I don't pull back a nub. Amazing recipe as always. Thanks!!!

[@naushadkhan3053]

You're amazing! And such a beautiful cook! You're the first cook to ever explain the gluten concept, very interesting! I can't wait to try!

[@alicianicole1986]

Hello, my name is Alicia. I'm from West Virginia, and I've recently been searching for videos that will teach me how to make some Chinese food, and so I stumbled upon your channel, and after watching 5 of your videos, I knew that you were definitely the right person to teach me, so I subscribed and now I wanted to tell you I appreciate you for all that your teaching me, and I'm sure so many others as well. I really enjoy, and more importantly understand your explanations and you make it so much better to follow along, than any other person I've watched. Keep up the good work, and I can't wait to actually put what I'm learning to use..... Chinese food is my favorite.

[@tjsurname119]

I had this in Chinatown over 30 years ago. It was delicious and they used to cut it with scissors, and I LOVED it. I haven't seen it in over 30 years and never forgotten it. Thankyou ! Peace be with you and thank you so much for sharing this beautiful chinese donut recipe.

[@pyaeaung8400]

[@TMX369]

Yay!!! So glad you made this video! I love all your detailed recipes and this bread is my favorite bread stick for hotpot soup. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@AdamS32828]

8:05 this is because a larger surface area will make contact with the hot oil, which allows for the dough to heat much quicker on the inside and the leavening can bubble up more before the crust sets.

[@humudsaid8500]

You’re right!

[@sihars7214]

In Indonesia we call this Cakue (pronounced like cha kway)

[@narikaba439]

This is a savory snack. Meant to be salty. Where as beignet and churros are sugary sweet snacks.

[@bwyyc2886]

@@narikaba439 You tiao's flavor is very mild, that's why it can pair with either savoury or sweet things. The most popular ways for Chinese people are to pair it with sweet soy milk or savoury porridge. It can go whichever way.

I'm a white dude in Sydney but these are one of my favourite things to get at the local hotpot place omg

[@sfdanceron1]

I have plenty of opportunity to try one, but I never have. They seem like they would be too oily with zero flavor. Maybe if they had some sugar on them like a churro, haha. Do you eat them with anything or by themselves?? If by themselves, what does it taste like???

[@lmmlStudios]

@@sfdanceron1 had them in the hotpot itself, so soaked up the sauce flavour, but basically not noticably oily at all, just soft but crunchy and a nice mix of sweet and savoury

[@jadenephrite]

Thank you for your video. For those who are unaware, Chinese Bread Stick (油 条 怪) which in Cantonese "Youtiao Gwai" means Oil Fried Devil originated from medieval China as protest against the Song Dynasty corrupt politician Qin Hui (秦 檜) who with his villainous wife Wang Shi (王 氏 ) treacherously plotted the wrongful execution of the hero Yue Fei (岳 飛). Therefore Qin Hui and his wife Wang Shi are represented as the two halves of Youtiao Gwai and eaten in mockery against the two despised traitors.

[@myatthirikyaing]

as coming from an asian family, I used to eat this bread stick dipped in warm milk tea and it's my forever favourite breakfast 😋

[@tinateh]

Thanks for all the tips! Malaysians take it for breakfast and supper. We can eat it with red bean soup, hot soy bean milk, dunk it in nanyang black coffee, serve it in congee or eat it on its own.

[@foonlam7134]

Love it. We normally eat it with sweet almond soup or sweet peanut soup. So yummy.

[@borpansir5521]

in indonesia we call this Cakwe. We eat this dipped into medium spicy chilli water and we eat this. Also it used to mixed inside our chicken rice porridge. Its delicious.
