Cakwe (Fried Chinese Cruller)
Found all over Asia, Cakwe is a fried Chinese cruller that is crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Also known as Youtiao, these fried dough sticks are prepared in a way that they can be easily torn lengthwise into two. In Indonesia, they can be eaten for breakfast, usually as an accompaniment to a bowl of porridge, or enjoyed as a midday snack with garlic chili dipping sauce.

Fry dough

- Let the dough chill in the fridge for about 6 hours.

- Sprinkle the working space with some flour to keep the dough from sticking.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle, about 1cm thick.
- Cut the dough into 2 cm strips.
- Stack 2 of the dough strips on top of each other.
