Here comes Qt-Mario again. This time with a famous Chinese icon.
When people talk about Chinese food,
the first thing comes in mind would be- Bak Kut Teh.
It's common i know.
Today, Qt is not going to introduce you Bak Kut Teh.
BUT!
The most important side dish, YOU CHA KUEH!
You Cha Kueh, also known as You Tiao, is like a Chinese style of fried bread stick or doughnut. Conventionally, youtiao are lightly salted and made so they can be torn lengthwise in two. Youtiao are normally eaten at breakfast as an accompaniment for soy milk or rice congee.
Before everything, you need ingredients.
Ingredient A:
1/4 tsp instant yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp flour
1 tbsp warm water
Ingredient B:
250ml warm water
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
3/4 tsp alum powder
3/4 tsp ammonia powder
1 tsp salt
300 gm flour
oil for deep frying
After you prepare all those above, you should start making your own You Cha Kueh!
1. Mix ingredient A and leave for few mins for the yeast to react.
2. Mix ingredient B .
3. Make a well in the flour, pour B and A into it. Mix well.
4. Leave to rise for 2 hours.
5. Transfer to a floured board and stretch it long and about 3" width.
6. Heat a wok with oil to 250 C. Cut the dough as think as your finger . Place one strip on top of each other. Stretch a little and dip into the hot oil.
7. Let it golden brown on both side. Drain the oil.
8. Eat with kaya or condense milk or Soy milk!

If you think all those steps above it's too troublesome: Qt strongly suggest you to just buy a few sticks from the stall! Some You Cha Kueh outside is real nice!
