Youtiao (traditional Chinese: 油條; simplified Chinese: 油条; pinyin: Yóutiáo), known in Southern China as yu char kway, is a long golden-brown deep-fried strip of wheat flour dough of Chinese origin and (by a variety of other names) also popular in other East and Southeast Asian cuisines.
Conventionally, youtiao are lightly salted and easily separated by hand.[2] Youtiao are normally eaten at breakfast[3] as an accompaniment for rice congee, soy milk or cow's milk blended with sugar. Youtiao may also be known as a Chinese cruller,[4] Chinese oil stick,[5] Chinese donut [sticks], and fried breadstick, among others.
In other Asian countries, they may also be called bicho, you char kway, cakwe, cakoi, kueh, kuay, shakoy or pathongko, among other names.
