It was also a novel food that rose in Mingzhou (now Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province) at that time, that is, black sesame seeds and pork suet were used as stuffing, a little sugar was added, and glutinous rice flour was rubbed outside to form a circle. When cooked, it tastes sweet, soft and delicious, with endless aftertaste.
