Pan cake is also called mirror cake, which is called mirror cake by many people in Shaanxi dialect. No wonder.

first of all, it is important to choose rice and red dates in the process of making retort pouch. Some places are made of good red dates, while others are candied dates, and the cost of candied dates is relatively high. Secondly, it is to choose rice, which is inseparable from most of the raw materials for making rice cakes, and this rice is chosen as the best glutinous rice to make. . The deep-mouthed iron pot of steamed cakes was named "Zan" in ancient times, hence its name. Pan cake is soft and delicate in texture. This dessert snack is steamed with glutinous rice, beans and red dates. After steaming, it is full of fragrance. The rice in the lower layer of the retort cake infiltrated into the jujube color, showing a fresh crimson color, and the cloud beans on the upper layer were brown in coffee, and then the dark red jujube paste was on the upper layer. Finally, a layer of green raisins was sprinkled on the jujube paste, which made it look attractive. Pan cake tastes soft and sweet, and it is very full. It is a food often eaten by local people. Pan cake, a traditional breakfast food in Guanzhong area, is a sweet cake made of glutinous rice and red dates. Its characteristics are: rich jujube fragrance, soft glutinous and sweet. In Xi 'an, the glutinous rice cakes made by Muslims in Lianhu District are the most delicious. Xi 'an Huimin Street's "South-East Asian Baked Cake King" is even more famous.

in some places, the practice is basically the same, and some of them have more materials, such as raisins and red beans mentioned above. It's just to increase the ratio of taste and taste of the baked cake. It looks good, too. One layer of red beans, red dates on it and green raisins make everyone want to eat it.

In the strict sense, the above picture is not a real rice cake. Cooked in an iron cauldron, Cooked from the first afternoon until the next morning, the cooking time is also very particular. Because the composition of rice is very different from that of other ingredients.

As a snack in Xi 'an, there are many kinds. It's nothing more than the set meal of cold-skin Chinese hamburger. In fact, a good deck of cards was smashed by the result. You know this.

As a kind of food, Kugao can't be a snack in the current market. First of all, its audience is relatively small, and it belongs to personal consumption food, especially those who like dessert, and occasionally come to a bowl. Because the cooking and ingredients in some places are different from those in every place, the taste of the audience is hard to like.

furthermore, the glutinous rice cake itself is a dessert, so most of them are also liked by people who like desserts, while other consumers are all attracted to a certain store to try some. It can be seen that the sales volume of retort pouch in Xi 'an.

Some people may say that just because you don't eat doesn't mean everyone doesn't eat. That's right, because it's a dessert. How many people like it every day? Most people prefer pasta and other snacks.

The quality of a glutinous rice cake depends on whether its dates are sweet or not, and whether the rice is white or not. In China people's consumption thought, everyone else is buying and wants to buy a bill, regardless of their own situation. Therefore, it leads to some people's blind consumption, although it is understandable to blindly consume in diet.

some stores have experienced for decades, or years, and they all have regular customers, regular consumers and regular diners. Then let you come to a bowl of hot glutinous rice cake every day, and it is estimated that your stomach can't stand it. Do not believe, you can try.

You don't have to go to Huimin Street in Xi 'an to eat snacks. In fact, real food is hidden deep in the streets. Huimin Street is just a gathering place with a little historical flavor and snacks. There are too many people watching, just lively.

There are also many famous Ku cakes in the surrounding urban areas of Xi 'an. They are shouting from street to street. When you are still sleeping in the morning, you are called to get up inside with a bowl in your hand to find a Ku cake seller. This scene has still been preserved.

People everywhere like to boast about a local delicacy. Then, let me tell you a historical story about mirror cakes. According to the "Textual Research on Ancient History", "The Yellow Emperor started the cauldron, and the way of fire food was only achieved." It can be seen that "Zan" has been produced in the late primitive society. In the Neolithic Age, there was a "pottery retort", which developed into a "bronze retort" in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. After the emergence of iron, the "retort" was changed from bronze to iron. Since then, "Tiezan" has been passed down from generation to generation. It is shaped like a cylinder, and there are many steam-permeable holes at the bottom. It can be placed on a large pot to steam things.

Zhuan cake evolved from the special food "Zhuan Bait Powder" for princes in the Western Zhou Dynasty more than 3, years ago. "Powder paste" is a cake steamed by adding bean paste stuffing (called bean crumbs in ancient times) into glutinous rice flour, which tastes like beans. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that it developed into steamed dates and rice. The "Crystal Dragon and Phoenix Cake" in the "Shaowei Banquet" hosted by Wei Juyuan, the left servant of Tang Shangshu, is in the same strain as the present one.

do you think it's awesome after reading it? In fact, it doesn't matter if someone likes it. It's a good thing. People often say that eating is also good. For Shaanxi people, there is nothing that a bowl of noodles can't solve. Pan cake, a cake with stories. The cooperation between rice and jujube has led to today's story food.

diners or tourists, as long as you like whether it is delicious or not. what do you reckon ?

The answer to the question is not comprehensive enough, and I hope there will be professionals to discuss it together.

thank you. The most Xi' an snacks

I think that the most distinctive snacks in Xi' an are not cold noodles, oil tea, Chinese buns and persimmon cakes, but should be the first to promote retort cakes. Guan Zhong's Chinese pronunciation is sharp, pronounced as zi xing, and wrongly pronounced as j xing. ）。

because of my work, I almost traveled all over the country. I found that mutton bubble, cold rice noodles, meat buns and other foods are basically available in other places (regardless of whether the taste is authentic or not), but I have never seen a glutinous rice cake. One morning, it suddenly occurred to me that I hadn't eaten it for a long time. The last time I ate it was when I was in high school. I thought it was chilling. I haven't been home for a long time. This kind of food must be sold by the old man's cart at the roadside stall. The facade is not delicious at all. The old man's methods are very authentic and very cheap. When I saw hot jing cake in the cold wind, I felt it was worth eating a bowl of

glutinous rice cake, which blended with dates. Retort is a very old steamer in ancient China, which is made of pottery, copper and iron, etc. After folk inheritance, the iron retort has been preserved to this day, and the steamed retort cake with it also has a special flavor. In the past, in Xi 'an, baked rice cakes were sold and eaten only for breakfast. A big iron retort, a gray knife, a tricycle and a loud shouting became the hometown memories that many people in the outer Guanzhong yearned for. It was only after the tip of the tongue that they came to mind.

Zan Gao (Zan, zèng. Guan Zhong's Chinese pronunciation is sharp, pronounced as zi xing, and wrongly pronounced as j xing. ) is a unique traditional snack in Xi 'an and Guanzhong area, which is steamed with glutinous rice, red dates or candied dates and red beans on iron retort.

There is a lot of money in this stuff. It is said that it was called Crystal Dragon and Phoenix Cake in the Tang Dynasty, and even the emperor had eaten it. Because it was really delicious, Sun Li saw it in the play and reacted with joy like a child.

So Kugao is definitely the most distinctive snack in Xi 'an!

Pay attention to "Big Mouth Yi Xi 'an". Your private food consultant

It should be a snack in Guanzhong area. My uncle drove mule carts along the Luohe River in Weibei in the 198s and sold mirror cakes for many years. Jujube is a jujube along the Luohe River. I believe adults and children in that area should remember the old man who drove mule carts to sell mirror cakes. Everyone in my mother's family can do it.

Focus on Shaanxi snacks. Hulutou loves trotters. Welcome to communicate.

I know that Kugao is in the TV series "The Flowers Bloom That Year", and Zhou Ying, played by Sun Li, is particularly fond of Kugao.

The opening episode 1, which took about 2 minutes, showed the traditional food in Shaanxi quite concretely!

These traditional Shaanxi cuisines are naturally attractive, but among them, jing (four tones), Zhou Ying's favorite dish in the play, is the most attractive. How much do you like it? After Zhou Ying's father gave her some copper coins, she immediately went to the streets to buy a piece of rice cake to eat ~

. The whole person couldn't help jumping

When he lifted the cover and smelled it, he wanted to pick it up and taste it. He was stopped by the boss, and then the boss took a small piece for her to taste.

After tasting it, he immediately said, "Give me a big piece". After thinking about it, he estimated that he had no money, and changed his mind to let me have a small piece.

Zhou Ying's love of retort pouch, in the eighth episode, Peter Ho's young master Wu Pin watched Zhou Ying feel bored at home, secretly asked her to put on a footman costume and take her out shopping. On the street, when she heard the shouts of selling retort pouch, she immediately jumped down from the car and ran to the stall, and Peter Ho followed, so she begged the young master to buy her a retort pouch to eat

< I bought the biggest piece for my wife, and Sun Li was as happy as a mental retardation.

After buying it, she started eating it. Before eating it, she asked the young master, who declined, and asked her if it was so delicious. She said that it was the best thing in Fiona Fang for five hundred miles.

Then the problem came, which made Sun Li love it like this. Come and popularize science ~

Kugao, a unique traditional snack in Xi 'an, is made by steaming glutinous rice, red dates or candied dates and red beans on an iron pan.

retort is an ancient cooker with a small hole at the bottom, which can be placed on a pot to steam food. It is commonly known as Jinzi, so retort cake is also called Jinzi cake.

Kugao is bright in color, rich in jujube flavor, soft, sticky and sweet, and mellow in taste. It can be eaten hot or cold. Just mix it when eating, and it tastes very sweet!

I can't see it clearly in the play, so I found some pictures for you to see what Ku Gao really looks like.

The pictures are from Baidu

Ku Gao, commonly known as mirror cake by Shaanxi people, was returned to me by my grandfather on Huimin Street when I went to Xi 'an for a trip. So, is the glutinous rice cake a traditional snack in Xi 'an?

People think that most of the traditional snacks in Xi 'an are Qin Zhen rice skin, Shaanxi cold rice noodles, and steamed buns with Chinese meat which are popular abroad, but we seldom hear about retort cakes. What is the glutinous rice cake made of? Shaanxi people pay attention to the retort cake, which is made by steaming the best rice with candied dates or red dates in an iron cauldron. The crucial cauldron was also called "retort" in ancient times, so the retort cake was actually named after this cauldron. Strictly speaking, Kugao is a dessert, so people from other provinces will not have a strong will to understand and try it, and the audience will be less. Just because it is not famous as a traditional snack in Xi 'an doesn't mean that Kugao is not a traditional snack in Xi 'an. In fact, in Xi 'an, there are many glutinous rice cake shops that have been operating for more than ten years. The real hidden food is the type of deep wine and deep alley. Xi 'an, as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the history of baked cakes can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty two or three thousand years ago, which evolved from the "baked bait powder" dedicated by the prince of the Western Zhou Dynasty. At that time, the prince didn't eat this kind of cake with dates, until the reign of Emperor Zhongzong in the Tang Dynasty, when the ministers wanted to entertain the Emperor Zhongzong for some reason, there was a dessert called "Crystal Dragon and Phoenix Cake" at the banquet at that time.

Therefore, Kugao is not only a traditional snack in Xi 'an, but also a fighter in dessert. It has witnessed the wind and frost of history and spent more than 2, years with the Chinese nation. If you have the opportunity to go to Xi 'an, don't miss Kugao!

Of course, after reading other answers, it's almost meaningless. Please add it.

why is it called a retort cake? It is named because it is steamed and matured.

whether it is a traditional food in Xi' an must be counted.

Qiao Zhou's Textual Research on Ancient History in the Shu and Han Dynasties of the Three Kingdoms records: "The Yellow Emperor started the cauldron, and the way of fire and food began." It can be seen that "Zan" has been produced in the late primitive society. In the Neolithic age, there was a pottery retort, which developed into a bronze retort in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. After the emergence of iron, retort was changed from bronze to iron. Since then, Tiezan has been inherited from generation to generation and has been passed down to this day. It is shaped like a cylinder, with many small holes at the bottom. It can be placed on a pot or kettle (cauldron) to steam things.

Zhuan cake evolved from the special food powder for princes in the Western Zhou Dynasty more than 3, years ago. "Zhou Li Tian Guan" has "embarrassing food bait powder". Flour is a cake steamed by adding bean paste stuffing into glutinous rice flour (called bean crumbs in ancient times), which tastes like beans.

it was not until the Tang dynasty that it developed into steamed dates and rice. Tang Shangshu ordered Zuo Servant to shoot Wei Juyuan's "Roast Tail Banquet" for Emperor Zhongzong, and the "Crystal Dragon Wind Cake" is in the same strain as the present retort cakes. According to the Dialect written by Yang Xiong in the Western Han Dynasty, "Guan Xi is called Zan Xian (sound" performance ")." Now, in Guanzhong area, the glutinous rice cake is called "sticky rice cake", which is actually a cake offering. "Sticky" and "acting" are homonyms in Shaanxi dialect. The current iron retort is the same as the ancient pottery retort in shape.

At that time, General Feng Yuxiang praised the glutinous rice cake in Xi 'an as "the swallow dish of the common people". In Guanzhong area, villagers always eat a plate of glutinous rice cake at every gathering, and when they return, they use tiger skin leaves as packaging to bring glutinous rice cake home, so as to share the delicious food with their families.

In Xi 'an, the best glutinous rice cake is made by Muslims in Lianhu District of the city. It is necessary to be able to steam, shovel and dish. With a special shovel, the glutinous rice cake will be mixed with dates, red and white, and put into the dish, which is attractive.

in 198s, the relevant departments of Xi' an municipal government awarded Wang Wenji, who had rich experience and exquisite skills in making retort cakes, as "retort cake technician". As breakfast, retort pouch can be seen everywhere in the streets and lanes of Xi 'an.

It's a traditional snack in Xi 'an. I was ten years old when I was in Xi 'an in 1995, and I got up at the gate of the quadrangle every morning. I remember that a dish was fifty cents, not a bowl, but a dish that was eaten in jiaozi. Some people didn't put white sugar on it, but there were so many red dates and red beans in it that I missed the taste of childhood.

It must count. Pan cake is also called "mirror cake" by Shaanxi people.
