Teochew Fallen Soup Money

Teochew Fallen Soup Money

　　  "Teochew Fallen Soup Money" is an innovative variation derived from the traditional Chaozhou snack "Glutinous Rice Coins." It incorporates the excellent techniques of the traditional snack while addressing some of its shortcomings, resulting in a more refined and representative Teochew snack. "Teochew Fallen Soup Money" retains certain advantages of the "Glutinous Rice Coins" production method—for example, after the glutinous rice dough is cooked, it is placed in a basin and repeatedly beaten with a wooden stick. This process results in a smoother, more elastic texture. However, the traditional "Glutinous Rice Coins" involved manually pinching the cooked dough into small pieces and rolling them in sugar powder and white sesame seeds, which was both unhygienic and resulted in a overly sticky texture when eaten directly. Therefore, "Teochew Fallen Soup Money" improves upon this by pan-frying the cooked glutinous rice dough in scallion oil until lightly crispy on both sides, then cutting it into pieces and plating it—thus overcoming the drawbacks of the traditional "Glutinous Rice Coins."
