Guanyinqiao Mung Bean Cake

　　In Fushan, there is a widely renowned delicacy—Guanyinqiao Mung Bean Cake. This is a deep-fried snack primarily made from glutinous rice and mung beans, with a simple yet unique production method. First, the mung beans are steamed, then pounded into a paste in a stone mortar, rolled into grape-sized balls, and then the steamed glutinous rice is also pounded into a paste, which is then quickly shaped into palm-sized wrappers. These wrappers are filled with the mung bean paste balls, placed in a ring about 10 centimeters in diameter, and pressed into shape, ensuring that each cake blank is uniform in size and thickness. Before eating, the blanks are deep-fried and served with a rich broth made from pork bones, turning them into a beloved local breakfast dish.
