Rice-blood cake refers to a local rice cake made of rice and blood. In southern China, rice is the main food, and steaming and cooking methods are often used to change the pattern of rice food. Because of the concept of "food tonic" in southern China, duck meat nourishes yin and tonifies deficiency. In the past, after killing ducks, farmers couldn't bear to pour out duck blood because of the virtue of frugality, so they filled rice and duck blood in containers, steamed them and ate them with sauce.
Later, it spread to the people and gradually became a civilian snack, also known as "duck blood cake". However, the price of duck meat is high, it takes time to raise it, and the supply of duck blood is in short supply, while chicken blood is not easy to solidify, so pig blood is gradually used to replace duck blood and become a "pig blood cake". Therefore, rice blood cake is another name for duck blood cake and pig blood cake.
Pig blood cake usually uses fresh pig blood to add glutinous rice, salt and other materials, and then steamed into a solidified block, which tastes harder than ordinary glutinous rice cake. Some are made from duck blood. Blood cakes are usually hard and suitable for cooking.
Rice-blood cakes are common in roadside stalls. After steaming, they are mostly sold with dipping sauce, peanut powder or coriander, and can be used as staple food or snacks. During autumn and winter, rice blood cake is also one of the first choices of hot pot ingredients, but it can't be cooked for a long time, and it is easy to stick to the bottom of the pot and smell burnt. Like glutinous rice sausage, it can be used as a substitute for rice. Can be cut into small pieces as chafing dish ingredients, or cut into strips to become braised and cooked in Guandong. In the processing of snack stalls, it is steamed or fried.
