Craving that perfect, crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside breakfast treat? Watch the traditional art of making handmade youtiao (Chinese fried dough sticks) from scratch! This video guides you through shaping the dough and frying it to golden perfection.

I’ll show you how to prepare a simple dough, rest it properly, cut and shape the strips, and carefully lower them into hot oil. You’ll learn the tricks to achieving that signature airy texture and satisfying crunch—plus tips for maintaining consistent oil temperature and frying safely.

Tips for Perfect Youtiao:

Let the Dough Rest: Allowing the dough to rest ensures better gluten development, which helps the youtiao puff up beautifully in the oil.

Control the Oil Heat: Keep the oil at a steady medium-high temperature (around 180°C / 355°F) to cook the dough evenly without burning.

Gently Turn While Frying: Use chopsticks or tongs to turn the youtiao as they fry for an even, golden color on all sides.

Making youtiao at home is a fun, rewarding way to bring authentic flavor to your kitchen. Enjoy them fresh with soy milk, congee, or your favorite dipping sauce!
