There's a story behind youtiao (In Cantonese-speaking areas it is known as yau ja gwai meaning "oil-fried devil") that go like this:
"According to tradition, this food is an act of protest against Song Dynasty official Qin Hui (秦檜, Cantonese: Chun Kui), who is said to have orchestrated the plot to frame the general Yue Fei (岳飛), an icon of patriotism in Chinese culture. It is said that the food, originally taking the form of two deep-fried human-shaped dough but later evolved two doughs joining in the middle, represents Qin Hui and his wife, both having a hand in collaborating with the enemy to bring about the great general's demise. Thus the youtiao is deep fried and eaten as if done to the traitorous couple. In keeping with the legend, youtiao are often made as two foot-long rolls of dough joined along the middle, with one roll representing the husband and the other the wife."

Youtiao is multi functional, the perfect match for soy milk, porridge, coffee (dip and crunch!), it can be stuffed with various fish and prawn paste too.
