Rest, stretch, fry(2h 10m)

Knead flour, baking powder, salt, oil + 180ml water into a soft dough. Rest 2 hrs. Roll into a rectangle, cut into strips. Stack 2 strips, press down the center with a chopstick. Stretch gently. Fry at 375°F, turning constantly, until puffed and golden (2 min).

Pro Tips for Western Kitchens

The dough must be very soft and sticky. Don't add extra flour — the wetness creates the air pockets that puff in the oil.
