If you travel to the Han Dynasty, you must first choose the family you travel to, because there is a gap between rich and poor. If you are a commoner, you have two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. If you are a noble, you have three meals a day. If you are an emperor, you have four meals a day. In the Han Dynasty, the main cooking methods were basically already available: frying, roasting, steaming and frying. So even if you time travel, you have to decide who you will travel to. Below is what I want to introduce, the delicacies that you can eat if you travel to a higher-status person.

(1) Hu cakes

Hu cakes are introduced from the Western Regions. Sesame seeds are sprinkled on the cakes and baked in a stove, or similar to today's sesame cakes in the north. The ingredients are flour, sesame seeds, onions, eggs, ghee, milk, clear oil, sugar, and salt. It is said that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty especially liked to eat it, and it also promoted the fashion in the capital. So this was also an indispensable delicacy at that time.

(2) Rice noodles

Made with honey and rice noodles, roll them into thin strips, assemble them into bundles, twist them into rings, and fry them in oil, just like today's dumplings. Also known as cold utensils and ointment rings. Just looking at the picture, you think it’s delicious.

(3) Rice cake

Rice cake is made from sticky rice or rice flour. It has a long history and is one of the traditional Chinese snacks. The rice cake tastes sticky, but this does not affect its overall deliciousness. On the contrary, it is very suitable for women to eat. Because it is easy to process, store and use in various ways, it is very popular. In the Han Dynasty, rice cakes were called pie, bait, glutinous rice cake, etc.

These are just some small snacks or things equivalent to snacks. If you travel through time, you can experience it yourself. However, I hope you are lucky enough to travel to a wealthy family.
