Whaddya mean... We got... Uh... Heineken!

OMG That's how you eat Chinese fried bread?!

My parents dropped off a bag of the stuff and I was wondering why it was so tasteless.

Ended up just chopping and frying it with honey and chili oil for tv snacks.

The correct spelling of the Vietnamese youtiao should be "quay".

I love those quay to be frank. Every time when I have the money to spare, I will order a whole stick, tear them into medium sized chunks, and let them soak in the broth before gawing them down. It's just some extra carb and fat but damn, it is just good.

 

[_hng_]

You don't pair Nem with Pho lmao

 

[NoTofu]

youtiao goes by so many different names, cakwe is what they're called over here, though I don't think I've ever dipped it into broth before

are you an indonesian? because i'd call it cakwe too

 

[HaikenEdge]

youtiao is probably the Chinese name for it—pretty sure it literally translates to "oil stick"—or yau ja gwai (both Cantonese, but I've mostly only really heard the latter when I was a kid growing up in Hong Kong).

I guess it could be dipped in stuff, but my family never did that; we got it with jook (congee), but it was always eaten in a way where you'd have come congee, then have some yau ja gwai to get flavor in your mouth to then eat more jook. It does have a mild savory flavor.

Not to be confused with ngau lei sou, a similar fried Cantonese pastry, except it's sweet due to sugar content, and instead of being long, it's vajayjay shaped like so:

the bland taste is to compliment the dipping broth, or even congee. we have a congee dish that has pigs innards, bloodcake and we often dip this "quay" with the congee

Have NEVER seen anyone drink beer with Pho? Like wtf? Also springrill doenst go with Pho - double the grease

cross the sea to the island of Java and you will also see cakwe in chicken porridge. nice to see some similarity 👍🏼

Sounds pretty similar to Dinuguan, our spicy blood stew.

I'll have to try the two together in the future
