Brief introduction of rice cake

Rice cake (nián-gāo, rice cake; New year cake), a traditional food of the Han nationality in China, belongs to the seasonal food of the Lunar New Year. Rice cakes are made of rice or glutinous rice, cooked into rice, beaten or ground into powder by water, and pressed. During the Spring Festival, many areas in China pay attention to eating rice cakes.

The main raw material is glutinous rice. The good glutinous rice and water are ground into water slurry, and brown sugar, rose sugar or white sugar, ham, sesame seeds and peanuts are added to mix well. After smearing a layer of oil on the mold, the mixed slurry is poured, steamed in a pot, demoulded and packaged. At first, Mengzi rice cakes were all bowl-shaped, but now you can see a flat-bottomed iron pot with a wide edge supported on a big stove on the street.

The edge of the pot is full of flaky rice cakes fried in oil. The surface of the rice cakes is fried brown and shiny, and there will be big bubbles. When children see them, they can't help but be tempted to buy them and eat them as snacks.

The baked rice cake is sweet and delicious. The rice cake can also be directly baked on the coal stove supported by a shelf. When bubbles appear on one side, the other side is turned over and baked until the rice cake swells. Rice cakes can also be made by mixing glutinous rice and rice at a ratio of 6: 4. What is more common in the market now is the impure glutinous rice rice cake.
