Gutian Oil Cake

Gutian Oil Cake

　　Gutian Oil Cake is a beloved snack among locals in Gutian, often enjoyed for breakfast with soy milk or guobianhu (a rice noodle soup), or even sandwiched inside guangbing (flatbread) for an especially delicious treat.

　　　　The method of making oil cake is simple, using rice, soybeans, and a bowl of cooked rice ground into a rice batter, then mixed with salt, chopped scallions, and more. In the Fuzhou version, slightly more soybeans are used and no cooked rice is added, resulting in a crispier texture.

　　　　If small river shrimp are added to the rice batter, it becomes shrimp cake; if clams and cabbage are added, it becomes clam cake.
