When you're busy, just put them in an oven to heat up—super convenient! They're the best fried dough sticks we've ever had, especially since they're Made in Canada.
It's very convenient to bake fried dough sticks in an air fryer.
I really enjoyed it and would definitely buy it again.
It looks exactly like the picture. Will update later.
Bought it many times . Love it
Fried dough sticks are a must-have for rice balls; a pack of three is just perfect.
They are very good with boiled tofu!
I've bought these fried dough sticks several times already. They're delicious when you air-fry them—fragrant, crispy, and flavorful.
Cut the fried dough sticks into small pieces, freeze them, and when you need to take out a few pieces, air fry them at 360 degrees for 4 minutes. They will be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and delicious!
Super crispy perfect paired with porridge
It's great, my family likes it, and we'll buy it again after we finish it.
Its the best doughnut
I buy this occasionally because I don't have time to make it myself. It's pretty good; it's almost the same as homemade and tastes good.
I bought fried dough sticks at Weee. Various brands were available.
I toast the bread with garlic butter. Amazing!
My sons love to eat it, but now they get tired of it if I buy too many.
My son cooked it himself using the air fryer.
I'll continue using this brand, especially when it's on sale.
I cooked it according to the instructions, but the packaging said it's a 410F air fryer, while mine only has 400F. I cooked it for 4 minutes on each side, and the heat felt just right! Now I can enjoy delicious fried dough sticks at home! So happy!
This is my first purchase. I haven't eaten it yet, but it was very soft and squishy when it arrived.
Just received the goods, they look pretty good.
I made these delicious fried dough sticks using an air fryer; they're crispy and tasty. 10 sticks weigh 450 grams, or 1 stick weighs 45 grams – just right.
This is my first time buying fried dough sticks from the Sinian brand, but I've tried many other Sinian products before, and I trust Sinian's quality assurance.
This fried dough stick is so convenient; it tastes great even in an air fryer.
This’s my second order
It's cheap and delicious, I'll definitely buy it again.
A product I repurchase year after year; kids love it.
Delicious! It seems like there's more food in it than before.
Delicious!! Convenient!!
It's best cooked in a spicy hot pot; it's crispy and delicious. I'd definitely buy it again if it's on sale.
They're not very big, but they're crispy enough, which is good.
I love shopping on Weee; the delivery is incredibly fast. I order today, and it arrives tomorrow.
Crispy and delicious fried dough sticks! A bowl of soy milk is the perfect match.
Yummy. Hope it’s good for soup
Zhang Lisheng's fried dough sticks are crispy, delicious, and chewy.
I made a pot of soy milk this afternoon, and then I remembered I had some fried dough sticks in the fridge. I baked one, but it wasn't crispy enough. I'll try a different brand next time, but I think it would be perfect as a base when making shrimp floss.
It is very good
First time I buy, hope it tastes good
It was so-so, about what I expected.
