2. Frying pile

In Jinjiang, Fujian, every household has to eat "fried piles" during the Dragon Boat Festival. The so-called frying pile is to use flour, rice flour or sweet potato powder and other ingredients to make a thick paste and fry it in an oil pan into a large piece. According to legend, in ancient times, it was rainy season in southern Fujian before the Dragon Boat Festival, and it rained continuously. People said that God had pierced a hole and wanted to "mend the sky". The rain stopped after eating "fried piles" on the Dragon Boat Festival. People say that the sky has been mended. This food custom comes from this.
