Jiao Quan (Fried Ring)

Is it a dark yellow bangle? No, it's the traditional Beijing snack Jiao Quan. Local Beijing citizens love Jiao Quan. When they have Dou Zhi (Mung Bean milk) for breakfast, they must eat Jiao Quan.

To make Jiao Quan, you must pay attention to the flour. It's best to use Zhangjiakou wheat. The wheat is red, and makes for the crispy taste. But if you can't get the Zhangjiakou wheat, you can mix alkali and alum into the flour.

Jiao Quan is crispy and golden, and has a burnt smell.
