There is this little asian buffet (China somethin or other, it's not a chain). Anyhow they serve these puffy dougnut rolls. They aren't labeled, and I haven't bothered to ask anyone there cause they can barely speak english. I don't know if they're technically a "doughnut", But they are fried round balls of dough, about the size of your fist, they are very light and fluffy, coated in sugar. Very tasty, I just want to know what they are!!! :)
Anyone know what these might be?

every chinese restaurant i know calls them chinese donuts. it's as simple as that.
you can make them fairly simply at home. get plain canned biscuits (not any with extra butter or cheese....just the plain kind). roll them in balls and deep fry them. have plain granulated sugar ready...as soon the dough turns golden brown, scoop them out and roll them in the sugar while still piping hot. this is essentially how they are made at many of the restaurants so i've been told by some owners that i know.
