Rice Cake

Rice Cake

　　　A traditional snack popular in Longdu and Lianyang areas of Chenghai City. It is made by grinding glutinous rice into powder, mixing it with water to form a soft dough, cooking it, then repeatedly kneading it to make the wrapper. The filling is sweet red bean paste mixed with oil, and the final shape is formed using a flat, round wooden mold.

　　The rice cakes made in Longdu have long been the most renowned.

　　Another type of rice cake produced in Lianyang and other areas has no filling. Instead, the aforementioned soft glutinous rice dough is shaped into small, round or flat bite-sized balls, then sprinkled with sesame oil and a mixture of sesame and peanut sugar powder. Both types of rice cakes are fragrant, sweet, soft, and smooth.
