Oil cake is one of the traditional specialties of Hebi, and it can be seen in restaurants, vendors and snack bars in the streets and lanes. The oil cake is yellowish and rectangular in appearance, covered with chopped green onion or coriander. It tastes soft and waxy, slides into the throat, melts in the mouth, and gives off a fragrant and pleasant taste, which is memorable. Oil cake is not only the traditional food of Hebi people, but also one of the unique cultural symbols of Hebi city, which is widely loved by domestic and foreign tourists.

The history of oil cake flies. As early as the 1920s, Hebi City began to make oil cakes at that time, but the oil cakes at that time did not look beautiful and the taste was not delicate enough. They are steamed, not delicious and not easy to keep. Later, after years of production experience, the oil cake gradually improved into such a delicious look. Hebi's oil cake was also rated as the intangible cultural heritage of Henan Province in 20 15 and became an important representative of Hebi's urban culture.

As a special food of Hebi, oil cake has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. With the change of the times and the increasing demand of consumers, the production and taste of oil cakes have also become diversified. For example, many stores have now launched cakes with various flavors such as hamburgers and sandwiches to meet the taste needs of different groups of people. With its delicious taste, oil cake inherits the rich Hebi urban culture, becomes one of the representatives of urban culture, and expresses the profound cultural heritage of the city.
