　　〖Preparation Process and Ingredients〗

　　The Mid-Autumn Festival is commonly known as the "Ghost Festival in July"; there is an old custom of offering salted glutinous rice cakes to ancestors. The way it's made is: minced pork, diced water chestnuts, crushed and fried dried anchovies or shrimp flakes, rice paste, white sugar, sweet potato starch, scallion whites, five-spice powder, and salt are combined into a dough-like mixture, which is then steamed in a bowl with rice batter. When eating, it is cut open and served with some satay sauce, orange juice, mashed garlic, pickled radish, and coriander. It has a chewy texture, fragrant aroma, and delicious taste.
