[WizShakur]

Thanks

[az19all]

[yinvi]

[nameno1elsehas]

I remember these from all those times when I went to China to visit my grandparents. Youtiao are so hard to find where I live... :P

[mar7dong]

It looks like Siakoy. ;-)

[chinarose168]

what's in the recipe anyone know + measurement pls. thanks

[KCAASE]

I know the Chinese invented the crullers, but I think only the Southeast Asians make the best crullers in the world. Don't hate me on this. I am just saying the truth.

[jayxunned]

Thanks for the video, will try make one, have been craving these for 2 suffering years since i'm in oversea!

[Wuhan]

After watching this video, I want to make some and then eat them.

[KCAASE]

First time of seeing "Chinese donuts". Wow. Is there any health issues with this food?

[zores2]

@KCAASE Of course if you eat too much deep fried food in oil there is health problems. Just don't eat too much simple as that and enjoy as a treat once or twice a week.

[tohoshinkiforever]

those are SO good

[tlkchew]

same question as aluangrath...

What is Alum & Ammonia mean?

[aluangrath]

I have one more question. What is Alum & Ammonia mean? Thanks so much for your help.

[Sigyyn]

@aluangrath Alum is a kind of spice powder used for pickling. You can get it at your local grocery store. Ammonia is ammonia. Straight up. It's the weirdest secret ingredient ever.

[aluangrath]

Thank you so much. I will try to make it & will let you know later.

[aluangrath]

can you please give me the recipe how much yeast, water, flour etc. thank you

[Rathanos480]

@aluangrath It's listed on the website. See the video description

[syazwan555]

song not needed man. so distracting.

[futuristfood]

@syazwan555 agreed. too distracting.



[fullmoon]

what is the name of the song you used in your video?

[eleraine]

First of all, you do not knead doughs like that to form gluten (gluten is what makes the dough stretchable) - you need to PUNCH down not gently pat the dough. Kelakar la, watching her handle the dough. Sheesh.

Secondly, if you want your crullers to be straight, don't touch them when you've just dropped them in oil.

[StuCarlieSmith]

Actually, punching the dough will cause the air bubbles to release, creating a denser, not so 'light' texture. The reason you don't need to punch the dough is that time will cause gluten to form, albeit slower than if you worked it by hand. Have YOU ever heard of no-knead bread? How do you think the gluten forms in that? Sheesh.

[amoxintubeu]

I tried to make it several times, but never succeed. There is no air bubble in my Eaw Ja Kuay. I only use a baking soda and a baking powder for leavening. Where can I get alum and ammonia? I live in a norther CA.

[mc4102]

use yeast, sugar, salt, water and plain multipurpose flour.....

[lexmakelele]

pls la.. the way she pull e dough i can see that she dont have experience at all.

[tlkchew]

not fair comment ... she does not just make you tiao everyday.... if that is her sole job/bread butter i am sure she can pull as well as anyone...

[redlittleteapot]

nice song

[loveroflovefilms]

oh, what song is is in the video...?

[rayman168]

How much baking soda + baking powder do I use to substitute for ammonia?

[crazymodafaka]

i use 1 tsp of baking soda and 1 tsp of baking powder (if using 3 c flour recipe)

[Floyoke]

& your You Tiao Is like the original? I'd like to try it socn

[sasukeluva48]

i love to eat those

[whyhedodat]

Are there substitutes for ammonia and alum?

[babyyxpink]

you can buy alum at your local supermarket.. Mccormick brand has them. As for ammonia.. i substitute it with baking soda + baking powder.

[cockbuddy]

Hi I have got the you tiao recipe from your cherrykitchen website. But there is no weight indicated for the flour. How much flour did you use in your recipie? Cheers

[cherryblossoms83]

Hi! it's 300g of flour. Regards

[strawberrypop4mexoxo]

@cherryblossoms83 300g of flour isn't even remotely correct. I just tried it with 300g and it was way too watery it was practically like batter. It looked nothing like the dough in the video. I tried to add more flour and it wasn't enough to make it more doughy and now I can't even use it. Please try to give the right measurements.

[Sigyyn]

@cockbuddy Sorry, just needed to point out the fact your name is "cockbuddy" :O
