Cooking Steps
Step1:Prepare all ingredients. Pour medium gluten flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and eggs directly into the flour basin.
Step2:Simply stir with chopsticks to form floccules. Then add water. Stir with chopsticks to make the dough roughly shaped. Press the dough together by hand or with a scraper.
Step3:After the dough is basically formed, add vegetable oil and mix well. Let the oil be absorbed by the dough.
Step4:Put oil on the surface of the dough after mixing. Cover with plastic film to let the dough relax and rest. The room temperature is more than 1 hour. The best way is to refrigerate overnight.
Step5:The rest dough will be softer and malleable. Transfer the dough to the panel. Shape the dough into square patches.
Step6:Cut long strips according to your own needs. Fold the two pieces together. Use chopsticks to press out traces in the middle. Pay attention to take the dough lightly. Try not to damage the shape of the dough.
Step7:Prepare a pot of hot oil. The oil temperature is about 180200 degrees. If you don't have a thermometer, you can cut a small piece of leftover material and put it into the oil pot. The dough can float on the surface, and there are bubbles around. That means the oil temperature is reached.
Step8:You can hold both ends of the dough before you put it into the oil pan. Stretch it a little longer. Put the dough into the oil pan from the middle first, then loosen both ends. Don't move the dough bar for the first three seconds after you put it into the pan. When you see that the oil bar starts to expand, you can take the chopsticks and gently fiddle with it. Let both sides of the oil bar heat evenly. When the oil bar turns golden in the pan, you can pull it out and drain it.

Cooking tips:It's not necessary to knead the dough for making dough sticks, because this dough needs to be very soft and malleable. The dough sticks can fully cover the hair when frying. And too much kneading will make the dough more tense. So just knead the dough until the dry flour can't be seen. It's good to shape it. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
