A chef made a new dish with rice noodles wrapped in red bean paste, but just after the dish was cooked, a eunuch named ran into a basin full of soybeans. Seeing that there was no time to redo it, the chef had to present this dish to Cixi. Cixi ate well and asked her name. When the cook thought of the disaster in Xiao Lv, she said it was snowballing.

Rolling on a donkey, also known as bean flour cake, originated in Manchuria. Because the hunting life of Manchu people often goes out early and returns late, eating sticky food is more resistant to hunger, and snowballing is a popular snack that evolved from sticky food more than 200 years ago. Later, because the children of the Eight Banners in the Qing Dynasty loved sticky food, snowballing soon spread to Beijing and became a local snack in Beijing.

Preservation method of snowballing usury

Snowballs can be stored in the refrigerator for a period of time as long as they are kept at low temperature and sealed from light, and should be eaten as soon as possible. Because the bean paste in snowballing usury goes bad very quickly, it is best to reheat it before eating it, and then eat it when it is cold. When choosing snowballs, choose golden snowballs, snowballs with sweet bean paste and soft taste. This kind of snowball is relatively fresh.
