Ren Ding Ban

Ren Ding Ban

　　Ren Ding Ban is primarily made by grinding a mixture of sticky rice and glutinous rice into powder, then mixing it with filtered brown sugar water or boiling water. A small amount of edible red food coloring is added, and the dough is kneaded until soft, elastic, and sticky. It is then shaped into small balls, rolled by hand into cylindrical strips about 15 centimeters long, and steamed thoroughly over high heat in a steamer. In rural areas of Dabu, locals often prepare this dish during festivals or temple gatherings as an offering, symbolizing family happiness and a thriving household.
