Cut long, frozen fried dough sticks into sections and put them in the freezer. For breakfast, take out a few small sections and air fry them at 350 degrees Celsius for 3 minutes. They will be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and delicious.

酒酿冬菜
These frozen Chinese long doughnuts arrived well-packaged in a sealed thermal bubble mailer with an ice gel pack, which I really appreciated. The packaging kept everything properly chilled and intact during delivery. Each pack contains two doughnuts; however, I did notice that there was no expiration date listed. To prepare them straight from the freezer, I used an air fryer at 390F for about 7.5 minutes, and they turned out perfectly crispy. Overall, I really enjoy these doughnuts—especially when dipped in warm almond or soy milk. They make a convenient and satisfying breakfast option. Simply can’t have enough!
