This recipe is from Nanjing, China but variations are made all over the county. In some regions of China, it's enjoyed with a piping hot bowl of sweetened soy milk.

Thank the gods you scrolled down I only hope I'm not too late to warn you about this recipe. When I made this recipe and followed it to the letter, the dough was far harder than several other recipes when I watched them on YouTube. I strongly recommend using a different recipe.
