Shayang Bean Cake

　　【Bean Cake】

　　Also known as bean strips, it is made by grinding equal parts of mung beans and rice into a paste to form the cake skin, which is then cut into thin strips. The soup is made by boiling the filtered water from seed sauce (wheat sauce) with salt, and each bowl of bean cake is topped with chopped scallions, diluted chili, and lard. It has a spicy and fragrant taste, with the bean strips remaining unbroken and not turning into a mush. Shayang Bean Cake was best made by Liu Zuxiang fifty years ago, beloved by both young and old. Nowadays, every household in Gaoyang and Shihuiqiao makes bean cakes.
