Preparation
-
1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, salt, and garlic powder.
-
2.Gradually add warm water to the dry ingredients while stirring with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.
-
3.Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
-
4.Place the dough back into the mixing bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
-
5.Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles and transfer it back to the floured surface.
-
6.Roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
-
7.Cut the dough into strips approximately 1 inch wide and 6 inches long.
-
8.Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot to 350°F (180°C).
-
9.Carefully drop the dough strips into the hot oil, frying them in batches for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown.
-
10.Remove the fried quẩy from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
-
11.Serve the Crispy Vietnamese Quẩy warm and enjoy!
Treat your ingredients with care...
- Flour — Use all-purpose flour for the best results. Bread flour can be used as a substitute, but it will yield a slightly denser texture.
- Instant yeast — Make sure the yeast is fresh and active to ensure proper dough rising.
- Vegetable oil — Choose a neutral-flavored oil with a high smoke point, such as canola or sunflower oil, for frying the quẩy.
Tips & Tricks
- For extra flavor, sprinkle sesame seeds or chopped green onions on top of the quẩy before frying.
- To achieve a lighter texture, let the dough rise in a warm place without drafts.
- Serve the quẩy immediately after frying for the best taste and texture.
- If you prefer a sweeter version, you can dust the quẩy with powdered sugar before serving.
- Leftover quẩy can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
Serving advice
Crispy Vietnamese Quẩy is best served warm. Enjoy them as a standalone snack or pair them with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, or hoisin sauce.
Presentation advice
Arrange the golden quẩy sticks on a serving platter or basket, allowing their crispy texture to shine. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or mint, for a pop of color.
