Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix flour, salt, ginger juice, and water into a firm dough, then rest for 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Roll thin, cut into rectangles, slit the center, and twist into shape.

  3. 3

    Deep-fry at 160C until crisp and lightly golden.

  4. 4

    Warm honey and sugar into syrup, then quickly coat the fried pieces.

Tips

If oil is too hot, the outside browns before the inside crisps.
Keep the syrup coating thin to avoid sogginess.
