Mianwo is a deep-fried, donut-shaped snack from Wuhan in Hubei province in central China. It is made from soy milk, rice milk, flour, sesame, and chopped Chinese scallion. Mianwo usually has a salty taste, but a sweeter variant may be made with diced sweet potato.
The origin of Mianwo is uncertain, but tradition dates it back to the Guangxu era of the Qing Dynasty (1875–1909). A local sesame cake maker, Chang Ziren, supposedly created the first Mianwo while experimenting with novel seed cake varieties in Hankou.
