Twisted doughnuts are known as kkwabaegi (꽈배기) in Korean. The mildly sweet, fluffy, spongy, twisted doughnuts are made with yeasted wheat and/or glutinous rice flour dough and melted butter. They are deep-fried in oil and coated with sugar and cinnamon powder.[1][2][4] It is often an after-school snack.[4]
Philippines
Shakoy or siyakoy from the Visayas Islands (also known as lubid-lubid in the northern Philippines) uses a length of dough twisted into a distinctive rope-like shape before being fried. The preparation is almost exactly the same as doughnuts, though there are variants made from glutinous rice flour. The texture can range from soft and fluffy, to sticky and chewy, to hard and crunchy. They are sprinkled with white sugar, but can also be topped with sesame seeds or caramelized sugar.[5][6]
