About Chinese doughnut

The Chinese doughnut, known as "youtiao," is a golden, deep-fried pastry popular in Chinese cuisine. It is traditionally enjoyed as a breakfast item, paired with warm soy milk or rice porridge. Made primarily from flour, water, salt, and baking powder, the dough is stretched into long strips and fried until crispy on the outside and airy on the inside. While its simplicity appeals to many, it is not considered a particularly healthy option due to its high fat content from frying and refined carbohydrates. However, youtiao is low in sugar compared to Western-style doughnuts and can provide a quick source of energy. It embodies cultural authenticity and indulgence, making it a beloved comfort food in many parts of Asia. Moderation is key when enjoying this treat as part of a balanced diet.
