油条为什么要拧上一拧? because it has two pieces twisted together. Without 拧上一拧 it will fall apart when frying. I am an expert on eggroll rolling. 糍糕 in Shanghai is called 糍饭糕 readily available everywhere in Shanghai, plus糍饭团with 油条plus other stuff inside. One word, jummy! When I am in Shanghai each morning I have two 嘉兴大肉棕,two 香菇菜包,two 鲜肉包,one 烧卖, a glass of milk. Eat like a king!! That is someting I could not find in the States except in Flushing NY area.
