Pig's Ear Crisp Spirals

Method

1. 1 Knead the flour with water, sugar, and salt until smooth and pliable, then divide into two parts.
2. 2 Mix the cocoa powder into one portion to create two dough blocks of two different colors.
3. 3 Roll out two pieces of dough thinly, stack them on top of each other, and then roll them tightly into a cylinder.
4. 4 Wrap tightly and refrigerate for 1 hour until the dough becomes firm, then slice thinly into spiral shapes.
5. 5 Deep-fry the slices over medium heat until golden brown and crispy, then remove and drain off excess oil.
