First, retort pouch is popular in Xi 'an, Shaanxi.
Zhou Ying, the heroine in the TV series, is a real figure in history. According to the recorded literature, Zhou Ying was a native of Shaanxi from birth to marriage and then to business. I don't know if the original character was used to eating glutinous rice cakes, but glutinous rice cakes did spread all over the streets of Xi 'an at that time. According to the related literature of glutinous rice cakes, Feng Yuxiang praised glutinous rice cakes in Xi 'an as a swallow dish of the civilian class during the Republic of China.
Nowadays, if we want to eat the most authentic Kugao, we will first think of the snack street in Xi 'an, Shaanxi Province. Although there are thousands of snacks in the snack street in Xi 'an, Kugao is probably the most authentic and original food.
Pan cake has a long history. From pan cake? Hey? As can be seen from the words, retort is also an ancient cooker, which is mainly used for steaming food. The earliest record of retort barrel was in the Song Dynasty, and retort cake is very likely to become famous in the Song Dynasty.
Second, the difference between the glutinous rice cake and the southern glutinous rice food
The main raw material of glutinous rice is glutinous rice, which is widely used in both the south and the west, and the most important thing is to make it into sweets. Even northerners who don't like sweets can't stop eating glutinous rice.
Ku Gao and the eight-treasure rice in the south of the Yangtze River are the most similar practices, but the difference is that Ku Gao contains more red cowpeas and red dates, while Ba Bao Fan contains longan and lotus seeds that are not found in Ku Gao. Perhaps this is related to the fact that the northwest region is rich in red dates and red beans, while the Jiangnan region is rich in preserved fruits and lotus seeds. It can be seen that the formation of each kind of food is closely related to the natural environment of the region.
Conclusion: Pan cake tastes soft, waxy and sweet. Because honey is put in it, the sweetness is not too greasy. It can not only satisfy the appetite of sweets lovers, but also help working people to supplement enough carbohydrate in the old days, improve their physical fitness and greatly enhance their mental strength after eating. In addition to the sticky glutinous rice, there is also the sandy feeling of red cowpea, the fruity aroma of red dates and the acidity of raisins, and the layers of each bite are very rich. Because red dates and red beans also have certain effects of supplementing qi and blood, patients with hypoglycemia are very suitable for eating this kind of food. However, people with diabetes and obesity should not eat more.
