As the Spring Festival approaches, the flavor of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger.

There is a custom in our hometown that when the Chinese New Year is approaching, we need to prepare "fried goods", such as "vermicelli balls", "fried cakes", "fried dough sticks", "crispy meat", etc., which are fried every time After several pots, I was finally able to enjoy it. My mother often said that during the Chinese New Year, don’t worry about fat or thinness, or frying. Just open your belly and eat. This New Year must be a happy one. My favorite among them is the fried hollow snacks. I still can’t figure out what they are called. They are bulging and hollow, with crispy skin and not greasy when eaten. The unique salty smell is so satisfying. The gluttons inside are about to come out.

Cover with Seal with plastic wrap and place in a warm place to ferment until doubled in size.

It is best to use eggs at room temperature. The eggs you just took out from the refrigerator can be soaked in a basin of warm water;

Dissolve the yeast in warm water and use the yeast water to knead the dough. Ferment quickly;

I like to eat salty food, so I added some salt. Friends who like to eat sweet food can use white sugar instead. The amount can be adjusted according to your own taste.

Step 3: After deflating, roll the dough into a large rectangular piece. Be sure to roll out the dough while spreading dry flour, and switch the front and back sides. Roll it out so it doesn't stick to the chopping board.

Step 5: Open an oil pan in advance and make sure the oil is warm When it is 60% hot, take a dry chopstick and put it into the oil. Dense small bubbles will immediately appear on the chopstick. At this time, put the dough into the pot. When it reaches the pot, it will float and bubble. Turn it over. Fry the noodles over medium-low heat until both sides are golden brown and evenly colored. Then you can control the oil and take it out of the pan. Use oil-absorbing paper to absorb the oil on the surface.
