Eel Fried Dough Twists

　　Eel Fried Dough Twists – A famous dish from Ganzhou (Gan County), also called Fried Dough Stick Braised with Eel when using ready-made fried dough sticks. Sliced cooked eel (marinated in rice wine and soy sauce) is mixed with starch and kneaded with flour, then deep-fried into crispy strips. First, stir-fry magnolia slices, mushrooms, ginger, and leeks, then add broth before putting in the eel and fried dough twists (or fried dough sticks). Thicken with starch and sprinkle with pepper. The key here is to use the broth in moderation—some versions use so much broth that they end up more like an eel soup.
