Dough Sticks With Plum Sauce Recipe

Red plums, bursting with sweet and slightly tart flavours, are perfect for jam. But it doesnt just have to go on bread. Here, weve deep-fried some you tiao, or chinese dough sticks to go along instead. These chewy-inside-crisp-outside you tiao pairs wonderfully with the sticky, intense plum dip and is great washed down with warm black tea. Wed recommend the orange-bergamot scented earl grey-a good one to add some citrusy lift to all that plum sweetness. Or, some strong english breakfast tea with a pour of milk works well too.
