Pomegranate Rolls

　　One of Guiyang’s famous snacks, it is also known as “Brush Handle Head” due to its resemblance to a brush. The Pomegranate Roll uses premium refined flour, with the edges shaped like lotus leaves, and is filled with a mixture of pork, shiitake mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, dried shrimp, monosodium glutamate, scallions, pepper, salt, soy sauce, and more. It is hand-shaped into the form of a brush, leaving the top open, then steamed in a basket for five minutes, sprinkled with cold water once, and then steamed for another ten minutes to finish. The Pomegranate Roll has an attractive appearance, with white edges and a light green base. The wrapper is fragrant and soft, and the filling is delicious and flavorful. In 1984, the Pomegranate Rolls made by the Guiyang Service Building were awarded the title of “Outstanding Local Snack” in Guiyang. (Guiyang)
