Development

Although steamed rice cake is a specialty of Pengze, it has been widely promoted in the surrounding areas and has become a favorite daily and festival food for the local people, and is not only limited to the people of Pengze who can make it and love to eat it. The word "steamed" in "steamed rice" tells us that it is different from dumplings in that it is limited to steaming. After steaming, it can also be deep-fried, which also has a special flavor.

Steamed rice is actually a combination of rice and vegetables from the South, and the preparation of the dumplings is a completely different scene from that of the dumplings. Dumplings are usually wrapped in a larger soup bowl or a small vegetable bowl that can hold the filling, and then a small dough is wrapped up.

In the area centered on Pengze and Hukou counties, many people treat steamed rice as a breakfast staple like steamed buns, which is obvious in breakfast stores but not in other parts of the country. During the holidays, steamed rice pudding becomes a festive food like dumplings for northerners.
