Slag-dropping sesame seed cake (Tujia sesame seed cake), which was once popular all over the country, has a bad reputation because some merchants can't get the point and the quality is difficult to guarantee. However, in Enshi area, this traditional craft has a long history and is being carried forward.
The main ingredient of Tujia sesame seed cake is flour, which is first made of old flour, then stuffed with meat, onion and pepper, blended together to make an oval cake, smeared with soy sauce and sesame seeds, and baked with charcoal in a crock. The baked Tujia sesame seed cake is golden in color, crisp outside and soft inside, and fragrant and attractive.
