Mayang Guokui

Mayang Guokui

　　Cut the kneaded dough into equal portions. After cutting, brush the dough with oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Once that’s done, wet your hands a bit and stick the “Guokui” onto the pan in various ways. Look, these Guokui are being baked by the furnace fire. Lean in closer, and you can smell the rich aroma of sesame wafting from inside—truly delightful. In just a few minutes, they’re ready to come off the pan. Now those gray dough balls have turned into crispy, fragrant “Guokui.”

　　Attention, visitors from out of town: this treat is best eaten while hot. Once it cools down, it gets soft, and you’ll have to fry it in oil to enjoy it—but even then, it still tastes great.
