Ingredient:
 

1 1/2 tsp
3 tsp
1 1/2 tsp
2 tsp
5 1/2 cup
8 cup

ammonium carbonate
baking soda
alum
salt
bread flour
oil

Methods:

1. Place ammonium carbonate, baking soda, alum and salt in a pan, mix evenly, add about 1 1/2 cup water to dissolve above material thoroughly, add flour, mix and form a soft dough, set aside.

2. Turn soft dough over after 30 minutes (don't knead, or it will expel carbonic acid gas in dough.)

3. Turn dough over after another 30 minutes, then let yeast begin to work.

4. After about 7-10 hours put dough on board, stretch and roll it into a long piece about 3 inches wide and 1/8 inch thick; cut into 1/2 inch strips.

5. Place two strips on top of each other, press a chopstick on top lengthwise, then grab the tip of both ends, stretch and twist to about 12-14 inches in length, then drop into hot oil. Deep-fry in 450 ⁰F oil, turn quickly till golden brown and serve.

Notes:

1. Use high protein flour for it has elasticity.

2. When adding water to material, there will have chemical reaction with white forth and sounds.

3. While the yeast is working, coat dough with a little oil or cover with damp cloth to keep from drying out.

4. The time required for the flour to rise depends upon temperature, the higher the faster, the lower the slower.
