4. Cut the dough into small doses of 30 grams per serving, and knead one by one into slender strips with uniform thickness. When operating, it should be rubbed long, not elongated, otherwise it will shorten the finished product. After rubbing, it is folded in half to form two strands of rope, and then folded in half to form four strands of hinge. After all the twists are rubbed, fry them from the first one in turn.

5. Heat the oil in the pot, add the dough with twist, gently stir with chopsticks, and pick it up when it floats and turns golden yellow. Be sure to fry the twist with a small fire, and turn it with chopsticks from time to time when frying, so that the twist can be evenly colored.
