The difference between rice cake and Ciba: the origin of rice cake for 3 years.

There is an old legend about the origin of Spring Festival rice cakes. In ancient times, there was a monster called Nian, who lived in the mountains and forests all year round. When he was hungry, he caught other animals to satisfy his hunger. But in the severe winter season, most animals hide and take a rest. When Nian was hungry, he went down the mountain to hurt the people, snatched people as food, and made the people miserable.

Later, a clever tribe called "Gao Clan", every winter, when the monster was expected to go down the mountain for food, he made a lot of food with grain in advance, twisted it into strips, put it outside the door, and people hid at home. When "Nian" came, people couldn't find anyone to eat, so they were hungry, so they filled their stomachs with food strips made by people and went back to the mountains after eating.

When people saw the monster go, they all went out to congratulate each other, glad that they had escaped the "Year of the Year" and were safe and ready for spring ploughing again. In this way, year after year, this method of avoiding animal harm has been handed down. Because the grain strips were made by Gao, in order to feed Nian, Nian and Gao were linked together, and they were called rice cakes (homophonic).

How to choose rice cakes

The rice cakes bought in the market are generally divided into raw and cooked. Raw rice cakes are mostly vacuum packed and can be stored at room temperature. Cooked rice cakes are best stored in the refrigerator and eaten within 3 days.

Whether the rice cake is fresh or not is very important. Look at the surface of the rice cake carefully first. If it is shiny, it means that the rice cake is very fresh. Then check the packaging of rice cakes. Generally, the shelf life will be printed on the packaging. The shelf life of non-vacuum packaged rice cakes is very short, usually only about 3 days, and some even only have one day, while the vacuum packaged rice cakes are slightly longer. If there is moisture oozing from the packaging bag, never buy it.

High-quality rice cakes can be easily cut into pieces, and the texture of the cross section is delicate. The rice cake with poor texture will not be broken into pieces when sliced, or there is obvious pulp feeling in the middle of the rice cake. Taste is also an important selection criterion. High-quality rice cakes taste smooth and soft, and have the natural rice flavor of glutinous rice. Inferior rice cakes will be coarse and slightly hard to eat, and the taste will be unnatural, and there will be obvious flavor.
