The stirred dough[1] (simplified Chinese: 搅团; traditional Chinese: 攪團), known as jiaotuan in Chinese, also translated as stirred paste,[2] sticky corn-flour jelly,[3] is a snack from Northwest China,[4] defined as a kind of "paste made of flour".[5]
The origin of the stirred dough cannot be verified, although its inventions has been traditionally attributed to Zhuge Liang from the Three Kingdoms period.[6] At that time, the name was not yet called "stirred dough", but was figuratively called "water surrounding the city".[7]
