"Douziba" is a great delicacy in my hometown.
My hometown is located in a county under Chenzhou City, Hunan. On the eve of the Spring Festival, we make glutinous rice cakes. Middle-aged men hold wooden hammers and beat the steamed glutinous rice in a very rhythmic pattern, accompanied by shouts of "Hey!"
, a large plate of glutinous rice cake paste was prepared in about an hour. The freshly baked glutinous rice cake paste was white and flawless, and steaming hot, making people unconsciously want to take a small piece to try it.
Women are responsible for shaping the glutinous rice cakes, usually with traditional shaped discs, as well as other creative shapes.
The freshly made "Shaked Rice Cake" can be eaten directly or with some sugar on it. The taste buds will bloom repeatedly after being hammered. It is really delicious.
Moreover, "Douciba" can be stored for a long time, and there are many ways to eat it. It can be boiled or baked. The baked "Douciba" is charred on the outside and full of aroma, which makes your mouth water just thinking about it.
