Wenling embedded cake, also known as Wenling sandwich cake, is a unique Han cake snack in Wenling. (Dialect version: "Ji Gao") In the south of Wenling, there is a custom of making "embedded cakes" on October 15th of the lunar calendar in rural areas, which is the ancient "Xiayuan Festival".
The method of making Wenling embedded cakes is to squash both sides of a small piece of rice cakes by hand (this is the key to success, because rice cakes are sticky and high in temperature, so many people can't successfully complete this step), and then add favorite dishes according to personal preferences, such as wheat cake tubes, usually fried noodles, shredded radish, shredded potatoes, shredded pork and so on. , usually based on the amount of pork; After putting it away, the next step is to stick the rice cakes together and make them lace-like, similar to the shape of jiaozi. If this step is not handled properly, the rice cake will easily fall apart. Put on a plastic bag and add some pork soup, and everything will be fine. If you are comfortable, you can also have some tofu or mung bean noodles with some broth. It's delicious!
Nowadays, with more and more Wenling businessmen going out, some Wenling people can be seen selling embedded cakes around the markets in many places, and the business is very good!
