Suide Oil Twist

Suide Oil Twist

　　 Suide Oil Twist is a famous local delicacy in Suide. Handmade and pan-fried, it features a golden, glossy color with thin, flaky layers as delicate as feathers—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with an inviting aroma of oil. When served hot, make a cut along the edge with a knife, stuff it with cold mixed pig’s head meat, and you get what’s called “The Lion Opens Its Mouth Wide,” a rich and satisfying bite.

　　How to Make Shaanxi Suide Oil Twist:

　　1. Use high-gluten flour, knead with warm water (adding a small amount of salt and alkaline water), first mix into a firm dough then dip in water to soften it, and let it rest for 2 hours;

　　2. Divide the dough into portions, roll them out into long strips on an oiled surface, spread with melted lard, and while rolling, stretch the dough thin, sprinkle with chopped scallions, salt, and ground Sichuan peppercorn;

　　3. Roll the dough into a log, flatten it into a round cake shape, place it on a hot griddle brushed with lard and pan-fry until browned, then transfer it to the lower part of the oven inside the baking ring to roast until cooked through.
