Today, I want to introduce a delicious Chaoshan snack. Our Mianhu specialty-hexagonal cake is actually the same as the pig's feet circle in Chaozhou, but the mold is different (hexagonal and round).
Information found on the Internet
Hexagon cake (called pig's feet circle in Chaozhou) is a kind of fried snack, which is vividly seen in Chaoshan area because of its appearance.
Hexagon cake is a distinctive snack in Chaoshan area. Generally, hexagonal cakes are stall owners who sell snacks. They set up a stove rack on the roadside, put a pot on it, fry it and sell it.
Making hexagonal cakes requires special tools, an iron handle and a hexagonal iron lamp with a diameter of 8cm and a height of 1.5cm welded at one end.
The method of making hexagonal cake is to evenly stir japonica rice flour and cassava flour according to the ratio of 3: 7, and then add water to make a slurry for later use.
The stuffing of the hexagonal cake is shredded taro or diced taro (raw is acceptable, but steamed is more fragrant), leek and shrimp stuffing, cooked bean stuffing, radish stuffing, etc. Add raw onion beads, allspice powder and refined salt, and stir well. Put the iron handle cup in a 6% hot oil pan and fry it slightly, so that the iron cup has a high temperature. Take out and pour out the powder slurry, and the heated powder slurry in the iron cup will become a small bowl. Add the prepared stuffing, then cover it with the powder slurry, put it in the oil pan and fry it until golden brown, and then pour it out.
Hexagon cake has a crispy taste, which is a favorite snack for children in Chaoshan. Because it is hexagonal, people call it hexagonal cake.
The fried "hexagonal cake" is not only very attractive in color, but also has a delicious and attractive fragrance, which makes people salivate. When you eat it, you will feel crispy and delicious, and it will be delicious after eating. "Hexagon cake" can not only be tasted as a kind of food, but also be used as a "food match" for sending meals. It really kills two birds with one stone.
