Youtiao
Youtiao, also known as the Chinese cruller, Chinese oil stick, Chinese doughnut, and fried breadstick, is a long golden-brown deep fried strip of dough eaten in China and (by a variety of other names) in other East and Southeast Asian cuisines. Conventionally, youtiao are lightly salted and made so they can be torn lengthwise in two. Youtiao are normally eaten at breakfast as an accompaniment for congee or soy milk.
Youtiao, generally skinny in width and tall in length, comes in pairs conjoined together. This duo exactly represents the physicality of a youtiao. Therefore the group name YouTiao has been selected to be eponymous to youtiao.
