The benefits of healthy eating are nowadays being given more attention than ever before and there are good reasons for doing this. The overall economy is affected by the number of individuals who are suffering from health problems such as hypertension, which is directly linked to poor eating habits. There are more and more efforts to try to get us to lead a healthier way of living and still it is also easier than ever to rely on fast, convenient food that is not good for our health. People typically assume that healthy diets call for much work and will significantly change the way they live and eat. In reality, however, merely making a couple of small changes can positively impact daily eating habits.

One initial thing you can do is to pay close attention to the choices you make when you’re at the grocery as you most likely choose many items out of habit.

A good healthy substitute can be porridge oats which have been shown to be great for your heart and can give you good sustainable energy daily.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine water, salt, egg white, baking powder, baking soda and ammonium bicarbonate. - - Stir to combine well and dissolve all the leavening agents. - - Gradually, add in the flour while still mixing with your other hand or spatula.
  3. Combine the mixture well until it becomes a dough. You can do this by hand or a spatula. - - Once it becomes a dough, knead the dough inside the bowl until all the nooks and crannies of flour are kneaded into the dough, about 3 to 5 minutes. - - Transfer to a very lightly floured surface, continue kneading for another 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. The dough should be smooth and not sticky. It should pass the "window-pane" test. - - The hydration is 62.5%. The ratio of water to dough should be just right. But, if the dough is too dry, add in water, 1 TBSP at a time. If the dough is too sticky, add in flour, 1 TBSP at a time. - - Roll the dough into a ball.
  5. Lightly grease the mixing bowl and dough ball with oil. - - Cover with a damp lint-free kitchen towel. - - Set aside for 1 hour. - - Grease working surface lightly with oil.

  8. Cover with the damp lint-free kitchen towel. - - Set aside for 15 mins. - - Prepare a dutch oven, over medium-high heat with at least 2 inches of oil. - - To check the temperature, insert a wooden chopstick into the oil. If bubbles form around the chopstick, the oil is ready for deep frying.
  9. Cover the rest of the dough when working with 1. The will prevent the rest of the dough from drying out.* - - Press a chopstick in the center of the stacked ribbon gently lengthwise to create a sort of groove. - - Gently pinch both ends and stretch.
  10. Just before dropping into the oil, give the dough another stretch. - - Be very careful as the oil is super hot. - - The dough will puff up immediately.
  11. Once the bottom is golden brown, flip. - - Deep fried until both sides are golden brown. - - Remove from heat and set aside on a wire cooling rack or a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain off excess oil.
  12. Repeat the process for the remaining dough. - - Serve with some Gianduja immediately. - - You can dust the You Tiao with some icing sugar and cinnamon powder. I prefer mine plain.
