Square Crispy Guokui

Square Crispy Guokui

　　Square Crispy Guokui is one of the famous snacks in the southern region. Made from premium flour that is fermented, coated with special seasonings such as pepper salt, and repeatedly kneaded, it is shaped into small squares. A bit of sesame is stuck on both ends, then pressed into square cakes. These are pan-fried until hardened, then placed along the inner walls of the oven beneath the pan and baked until they turn a soy-sauce red.

　　The surface of the guokui forms a hard crust and makes a crisp sound when tapped, but inside it is flaky like a biscuit—crisp, fragrant, and delicious. It can be carried for travel without breaking or losing its crispness; even three to five days later, it remains flaky, sweet, and aromatic. Within half a month, it retains its signature crispy and fragrant qualities.
