Golden fried mantou served with sweet condensed milk is a crispy, indulgent treat. A fun family dessert or snack loved by all ages.
Slice each mantou bun into 3-4 thick pieces using a sharp knife to ensure even frying.
In a deep skillet or wok, pour the vegetable oil and heat over medium-high until shimmering (350°F, test with a small piece of bread).
Carefully add the mantou slices in batches, ensuring the oil is not overcrowded and adjusting the heat as needed to maintain temperature.
Fry the mantou until all sides are golden brown and crispy, turning with tongs for even color, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
Drain the fried mantou on a wire rack or paper towel, then serve immediately with a side of condensed milk for dipping.
