Changyuan deep-fried dough sticks with egg
 
Du Yongqing lives in the west of Changyuan County and comes from a long line of chefs. In 2001, he participated in the “famous snacks competition” in Henan province. His deep-fried dough sticks with egg won the competition and was acclaimed as the “most famous snack from Henan province”. His North Henan cooking process is like this: firstly, he drags out a clump of dough with a metal stick in each hand, and then lengthens it into a long strip. Then he puts it into a pot full of boiling oil to deep fry the dough, while his assistant stirs the oil so as to make sure that the dough is heated in a balanced way. As the dough becomes golden, it is hoisted out from the pot.
