Lueyang Corn Pudding

　　There are many food products derived from corn, which were staple foods for people in the era when coarse grains dominated. Corn pudding is a unique dish that rural residents in Lueyang developed by improving and modifying corn in their daily production and life. It remains one of the distinctive treats people enjoy to vary their palate. The method of making corn pudding involves grinding tender corn into a milky consistency, cooking it into a sweet and slightly sour dish that is so delicious you can't help but keep eating more. It’s best enjoyed with some sweet potatoes or potatoes — first boil the sweet potatoes or potatoes until soft, then add the corn pudding to boiling water. The pot steams up with bubbles, releasing waves of creamy aroma that are simply mouthwatering. Alternatively, the corn pudding can be steamed into pudding cakes or pan-fried into pudding flatbreads, offering yet another flavor profile. Though it's a seasonal snack, having it once in a while feels special and refreshing.
