They are purchased and eaten separately. They are doing it in mainland NOW it's due to the popularity of YongHe Doujiang (YongHe, a Taipei suburb, is famous for their rows of soy milk breakfast shops) who brought the Taiwanese style to the mainland. It was done this way because these foods were native to Northern China, and when the KMT escaped to Taiwan, many of the mainland soldiers start to sell all these non-native Taiwanese foods together in the same stalls. Sooner or later Soy Milk, ShaoBing + YouTiao, and other items like Leek Cake became staple b-fast items for all Taiwanese and eaten together harmoniously - just part of Taiwanese ingenuity.

We couldn't get this stuff where I grew up, but one vacation we went to visit my parents' friends in Cupertino where they bought this and the soy milk and other Taiwanese goodies for us for breakfast every morning, and I always wished we lived there. Dang it. I had a deprived childhood. Omg… your post made me so hungry.

It is soooo good and brings back very good memories, since our entire family loved this and we were always so excited when we got to have it! It was one of the best parts about visiting Taiwan, was having this for bkfst! I'm lucky my mom knows how to make this, since we live in an area where this was not available when I was a kid (I believe that now you can buy it at the chinese store refrigerated). I remember when I was a kid and my mom was, "experimenting" on recipes. My siblings and I loved being her guinea pigs to try her different recipes, she finally figured out that peanut oil was the best oil to use to fry the you tiao. She even made her own soy milk too! Yum, now you've got me craving for it, too bad I have no way to get a hold of this stuff right now (we live in the middle of the boonies). I really need to ask my mom for the recipe.
