Chinese
Etymology
鬼 (guǐ) is possibly from Hokkien 粿 (kóe).
According to legends, this kind of food was originally named 油炸檜 / 油炸桧 (yóuzháhuì, literally “oil-fried Qin Hui”), which was named after Qin Hui, one of the most loathed traitor to the Chinese nation in history. This kind of food was created as a protest, as the two dough sticks symbolized him and his wife, and was later renamed to similar-sounding 油炸鬼 (yóuzháguǐ).
