These are called various things depending on the manufacturer. If you go to Chinatown, you can always buy these. They are very simple, but you won't tire of them. The key to these is that firm, chewy texture, but if you make them yourself you can make them as hard or soft as you like! Shaping these is a lot of fun.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Preliminaries: Measure out the ingredients. Sift the flours.
* Step 2
Mix all the ingredients together.
* Step 3
Start mixing lightly with chopsticks, then knead with your hands.
* Step 4
When it is no longer floury and the dough is smooth and cohesive, cover with plastic wrap and leave to rest for more than 30 minutes.
* Step 5
If you rest the dough it stretches out easily. Knead lightly to soften, and then start shaping the dough.
* Step 6
Divide the rested dough into 14 to 16 equal portions.
* Step 7
Roll each portion into a ball. Keep the dough you're not working on covered to prevent it from drying out. Open a hole in the middle of a dough ball.
* Step 8
Use your fingers to slowly stretch open the hole, to form a ring with the dough. You don't need any flour for dusting.
* Step 9
Make a ring of dough; the dough should be a bit less than 1 cm thick. The thinner the dough, the better the texture will be. It should be about 30 to 40 cm long when you fold the circle in half.
* Step 10
Hold both ends and start twisting.
* Step 11
Keep twisting tighter and tighter.
* Step 12
If you hold the middle and bring the ends together, it will become twisted on its own.
* Step 13
It's now a twisted stick. Neaten out the shape.
* Step 14
If you put one end in the ring on the other end, they won't fall apart while frying.
* Step 15
Deep fry the sticks slowly in fairly cool oil, for about 5 minutes. Cook them through thoroughly to harden them.
* Step 16
When they are a nice golden brown, they are done. Once they are totally cool, they'll become hard and break with a snap, almost like a biscuit.
