Sesame Hollow Donuts

In Asia, the donut sellers often propose two versions: this one the Sesame Hollow donut called Bánh Tiêu from its Vietnamese origin and the traditional Chinese Fried Breadsticks called 'YOU TIAO'. It is not easy to choose from the beautiful stands of the street food vendors.

Bánh Tiêu donuts are slightly sweet and hollow. It will be necessary to carefully watch the oil temperature during cooking: if it is too low, the donut will remain flat, if it is too high, the donut will not uniformly inflate. The correct temperature is around 160°C (320°F).

Eat your donuts when they are still warm. Enjoy them with a good tea, a coffee or a homemade soy milk. Bon appétit.
