Dagao and Ciba are both unique ethnic minority foods. For many people who haven't eaten them, it is difficult for them to distinguish the difference between them. In fact, they can distinguish the two foods well from their manufacturing technology, seasoning and appearance. In order to help you better understand these two kinds of food, the following is a targeted introduction based on the characteristics of this kind of food. From the perspective of production technology, both cake and Ciba need to be hammered, but Ciba will add seasoning in the later stage of production.
making technology of beating cakes: generally speaking, the beating cakes made by Koreans have a unique flavor and are deeply loved by people. In the making process, it is necessary to steam glutinous rice first, then put it in a container and hammer it with a wooden mallet. The reason why it is called beating cakes is that people need to beat it with wooden mallets constantly during the making process.
Ciba production process: Ciba is also produced according to this process. It is precisely because of the same treatment method in the early stage that many people are confused and don't know the difference between the two. In the later stage of production, Ciba will make the hammered glutinous rice into the size of an egg, and then sprinkle with seasonings such as peanuts and sesame seeds.
Therefore, from the production process, people can make a good difference as long as they pay attention to the later treatment methods. From the perspective of materials, rice cakes are mainly made of white glutinous rice and yellow rice, while Ciba takes seasoning as its unique flavor.
Generally speaking, seasoning is rarely used in the process of making cakes. Generally, they are made into strips after hammering, which are also called New Year cakes in many areas. At present, there are two kinds of white and yellow cakes. The main reason for the difference in color is that the raw materials are different, one is white glutinous rice and the other is yellow rice. When people eat, they usually need to fry or heat it and dip it in other seasonings.
In the process of making Ciba, most of the seasoning powders are directly sprinkled on the surface of the food, which is usually eaten while cooking, so it tastes unique. This kind of food is sold on the streets in many areas of China, and it is very popular in coastal areas of Fujian.
Therefore, it can be well distinguished if there is seasoning on the surface of the food before eating. Generally speaking, you can eat it when you get it, and there is a layer of seasoning on it, which is Ciba. From the appearance, cakes are generally made into larger squares, and Ciba is mostly round.
The beaten cakes made in all parts of China are generally rectangular. Because the beaten cakes have been hammered repeatedly in the production process, they are very hard after being cooled, and they need to be sliced and heated before eating. Whether it is fried meat or stewed hot pot, the flavor is very unique. People can often see sliced white rice cakes in supermarkets. In fact, this is the processed rice cakes.
In most cases, Ciba is the size of an egg and is round. Generally speaking, it is covered with a layer of peanut and sesame powder and white sugar. Generally speaking, this kind of food is eaten as you go, and it tastes sweet.
So I don't know the difference between them. Just look at the appearance and you can distinguish the two kinds of food well.
I feel that the above three methods are the most direct. If you want to know more about the differences between the two cuisines, I suggest that you go to ethnic minority areas in China, whether in the southwest ethnic minority areas or in the coastal areas of Fujian, where you can also personally participate in the preparation of cuisines. I believe that as long as you can actively participate, you will have a deeper understanding of the two cuisines.
If you have a better way to distinguish it, please leave a message for discussion!
