Steps for Youtiao Youmo

  • Make Youtiao Youmo step 0
    1
    Add a small spoonful of white sugar to the flour and mix well (you can add more if you like. I mainly do it for coloring. Adding sugar can also help fermentation, but I don't need it in this weather)

    2
    Add appropriate amount of warm water to the yeast, stir evenly and let it stand for five minutes, pour into the flour, use chopsticks to stir into a dough, and stir for a few more minutes to fully stretch the dough (Don't use your hands, because it is very sticky and wet and difficult to operate, just use chopsticks to make it into a ball.)

    Cover with plastic wrap and ferment in a warm place until twice as large

    Add a little warm water to dissolve baking soda and salt, and use your hand to rub the melted soda and salt water to knead the dough evenly again

    Fermented to twice the size again. At this time, the dough is also very sticky and can be formed by pulling it with your hand.

    Coat the surface with a layer of oil, cover it with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for later use (you can also fry it directly at this time, but I use it as breakfast so I refrigerate it in the refrigerator)

    The next morning, I took out the dough that had been refrigerated overnight, applied oil to the surface, and also stained my hands with oil

    Take out the dough and place it on the plate and form it into long strips with your hands

    11
    Apply appropriate amount of Zanthoxylum bungeanum and oil on the surface, use an oiled knife to cut into evenly small doses, put the two small doses together, and use chopsticks to press in the middle (I didn't cut evenly, so I later used a lot of fried pancakes, the dough is too soft and not very good)

    Heat the oil in the pan. When the oil is heated to 180 degrees, add the oil to fry and fry it. While frying, turn and press the oil to make it evenly heated. One oil stick will definitely be cooked in about a minute (I used a very small pan, save fuel, hehe)

    When I came to fry oil cakes at this time, I couldn't take photos because my hands were too sticky to take pictures.

    This internal organization is not very good, but my grandma said she wanted it this way. She thought it was delicious, and she also said it was much better than the one she bought.

    Adding pepper to the fried dough stick noodles will taste a lot more delicious. You can try it;
    The fried pancakes here don't need to scratch them. They are fried directly, sprinkled with sugar and eaten. This may be due to the differences in regions.
