Ingredients
- Shaobing(Sesame flatbread)
- Youtiao(Fried dough stick)
Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- [Youtiao] Rest dough (flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda) overnight, stretch into long strips, stack two, and deep-fry at 200°C until expanded and crispy.
- [Shaobing] Bake layered flour dough coated with white sesame in an oven until crispy golden.
- Make a deep slit in the piping hot Shaobing.
- Fold the freshly fried Youtiao in half (or cut to size) and forcefully stuff it into the Shaobing slit.
- No other fillings. No seasoning. Purely savor the collision of two different flour-and-oil textures: the flaky Shaobing layers and the hollow crunchy Youtiao.

Trivia
[Hardcore] The menu foreigners question most: 'Why sandwich bread with bread?' But dunked in soy milk soup, this intense mass of oil and flour becomes the ultimate morning energy source.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Biting it plain robs your mouth of all moisture, so the iron rule is dunking it heavily into hot soy milk to soften it slightly before eating!
