Pig blood cake

　　Pig blood cake is a traditional food from Xinhua, dating back to the Kangxi era of the Qing Dynasty. Passed down through generations for hundreds of years, Xinhua Laojia Food Co., Ltd. has innovated upon this historical recipe. The making of pig blood cake is meticulous, with tofu as the main ingredient, mixed with an appropriate amount of pig blood, salt, diced fresh meat, chili powder, five-spice powder, as well as a small amount of sesame oil, cooking oil, monosodium glutamate, and other seasonings. It is sun-dried for several days and then hung over a firewood stove to be smoked and dried. The cake has a well-balanced saltiness, a delicious smoky flavor, is easy to preserve, convenient to carry, and boasts distinctive local characteristics.
