What I miss is not a breakfast but a memory. When I was a child, as long as there were guests staying at home, my father would ask me to take a chopstick early the next morning (the fried dough sticks that had just been put out of the pot are quite hot, and if they were put in plastic bags, they would easily be burned and damaged, for fear of being harmful. So he used chopsticks to string fried dough sticks, which was easy to pick up.) He went to the big cake shop in the alley to buy a few fried dough sticks. When he came back, he had already ground soy milk and cooked porridge. The side dishes were preserved egg and pork floss, and pickled melon. This is the richest breakfast in my memory.
As I grew up slowly, I left my hometown to study, and the fried dough sticks seemed to have disappeared from my mind and sight... After returning to China, I rarely thought about it again. Occasionally, I would have a flash of thoughts, but in the end, I gave up because I didn't want to get up early to buy fried dough sticks...

Steps for fritters
1
Mix all ingredients, add water and stir well for about 5-8 minutes, and knead into dough. Then cover the dough with plastic wrap and let sit for about 20 minutes. Then remove the plastic wrap, rub and kick it repeatedly for 2-3 minutes, and then cover it with plastic wrap and let it stand. Generally, let it stand for 6-10 hours in winter and about 2-3 hours in summer.
2
Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough flat (not too thin).
3
Cut the rolled dough into strips 20 cm long and about 5 cm thick. Then stack each two strips.
4
Press the two stacked long dough between them with chopsticks to make a groove in the middle. Hold your hands together and lift them up slightly.
5
Put the drawn dough stick shape directly into an oil pan at 200 degrees Celsius. When frying, use chopsticks to roll over so that frying evenly on both sides. Just fry until the surface turns golden!
6
When eating, serve with a bowl of hot soy milk.
