New Year's cakes are a must-have snack and food for Ningbo people during the New Year. Ningbo is rich in new year's cakes, especially Cicheng's. Recently, the new year's cakes produced in Ninghai are soft, waxy and delicious. Many people think that the new year's cakes are made of glutinous rice, but they are not. It is a rice product. At most, adding some glutinous rice can make the new year's cakes softer.
Just like northerners eat pasta, southerners prefer rice products, while Ningbo people especially like rice cakes. A bowl of rice cake soup can be both sweet and salty. On holidays, it also means "eating rice cakes". In the past, chickens were killed on New Year's Eve to treat people to dinner on the first day of the first month, and chicken soup was used to burn rice cake soup on New Year's Eve. The "green vegetable juice rice cake soup" was delicious and was a good memory of my childhood.
