Ingredients

• 4 cups Unsweetened soy milk
• 3 tbsp Sugar
• 4 Youtiao
• 2 tbsp Pickled mustard greens

Steps

1. Warm the soy milk gently to steaming — never boil it, which turns it bitter and skins it over. Stir in the sugar until dissolved.
2. Warm the youtiao in a 350-degree oven 5 minutes so they crisp back up. A soggy cruller is a tragedy.
3. Pour the hot soy milk into bowls. Set out the pickled greens in a small dish for the savory-sweet-salty dunkers.
4. To eat: tear the cruller into chunks and dunk. Purists drink the milk straight and eat the cruller alongside; rebels soak it until it collapses. Both are correct.
