Laughing Donut Holes
"This snack is very popular in South China to serve to guests during the Chinese New Year,” says cookbook author Kei Lum Chan. "It is so named because the round dough balls, when deep fried, will crack open like someone is laughing. It carries a meaning of being able to laugh throughout the year." This recipe originally appeared in CHINA: THE COOKBOOK by Kei Lum and Diora Fong Chan.Slideshow: More Doughnut Recipes
