    Step 10

    Pour cooking oil into a wok and heat it to about 70% of its maximum temperature. You can test this by inserting chopsticks into the oil; small bubbles should appear around the chopsticks. Add the twisted dough sticks and fry over low heat until they float. Then, gently stir the twisted dough sticks back and forth with chopsticks to ensure even heating. Once they turn golden brown, remove them and drain off the excess oil.
