sticky rice vegetable dish of Jilong

　　In Jilong Town, Huidong County, there is a local delicacy known as sticky rice vegetable that enjoys quite a reputation. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, in recent years, this once only folk-prepared food has become increasingly popular, gradually making its way into high-end venues such as local hotels and restaurants, where it has become a signature dish.

　　Locally, sticky rice vegetable is usually made on special occasions such as Chinese New Year, Qingming Festival, Shiyuezhao (the first day of the tenth lunar month), and the Winter Solstice. However, with social changes, villagers now also prepare it on regular days. The sticky rice vegetable is soft, fragrant, and has a good chewy texture. Since most of the ingredients used are light and mild, it doesn’t feel greasy when eaten, making it very popular among locals and growing in fame.
