}}In Mainland China and Taiwan, twisted doughnuts known as mahua ({{lang|zh|麻花}}) are traditional fried desserts with regional variations. The main ingredients consist of flour, sugar and cooking oil, though salt, honey, nuts and other spices can be added as well. Once twisted into a braided shape, the dough is then fried in peanut oil. The two predominant variants are crispy-outside-fluffy-inside or completely crunchy. The original form was invented in the city of Tianjin and dates back millennia.{{Cite web|date=2016-02-16|title=Mahua: the Tianjin Treat|url=https://www.theworldofchinese.com/2016/02/mahua-the-tianjin-treat/|access-date=2020-11-25|website=The World of Chinese|archive-date=2021-06-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210628182733/https://www.theworldofchinese.com/2016/02/mahua-the-tianjin-treat/|url-status=dead}}{{Cite web|title=Tasting Tianjin with its signature foods[1]- Chinadaily.com.cn|url=https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/food/2017-05/08/content_29251771.htm|access-date=2020-11-25|website=www.chinadaily.com.cn}}{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=2009-09-28|title=18th Street Fried Dough Twists|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306150023/http://english.cri.cn/6566/2009/09/28/902s519141.htm|url=http://english.cri.cn/6566/2009/09/28/902s519141.htm|archive-date=2016-03-06|access-date=2020-11-24|url-status=dead|website=CRIENGLISH.com}}

= 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. Hard and crunchy versions are known as pilipit. They are sprinkled with white sugar, but can also be topped with sesame seeds or caramelized sugar.{{cite web|url=http://www.pinoyrecipe.net/shakoy-recipe/|title=How to cook Shakoy|publisher=Pinoy Recipes|accessdate=3 January 2015}}{{cite web|url=http://www.pingdesserts.com/shakoy-or-lubid-lubid-recipe/|title=Shakoy or Lubid-Lubid Recipe|date=29 September 2012|publisher=Ping Desserts|accessdate=3 January 2015}}{{cite web |title=Pilipit |url=http://www.kawalingpinoyrecipe.com/bread_and_pastries/pilipit.php |website=Kawaling Pinoy Tasty Recipes |date=29 November 2013 |accessdate=26 March 2019}}
