Ash Bean Pudding

　　Ash Bean Pudding is a unique dish made from brownish peas. The process involves washing round peas, simmering them in an iron pot until half-cooked, then transferring them to a clay pot with water and adding seasonings such as edible salt and red dates. It is gently cooked into a thick porridge-like consistency and served with white sugar, giving it a distinctive flavor that is beloved by both young and old. Out-of-town visitors can try it at “Du Weicheng Ash Bean Shop,” located in the First Workers’ Club of Lanzhou on the northern side of the middle section of Zhangye Road, which has been awarded the title of “Golden City Ash Bean King” by the Gansu Provincial Department of Commerce.
