Pure Mung Bean Crispy Rolls
Pure Mung Bean Crispy Rolls, commonly known as "Ge Zha He," are a traditional specialty unique to Tongzhou District in Beijing. During the Lunar New Year, every household makes Ge Zha He. A local saying in Tongzhou goes: “Steamed buns puff up round, Ge He crackles crisp,” symbolizing family unity and prosperity. Made from premium mung beans, these rolls are crafted with care, featuring a crispy texture, rich flavor, and melt-in-your-mouth taste that suits all ages.
Ge Zha He is a long-standing folk delicacy that was once served as a tribute to the imperial family. It is primarily made of mung beans, going through ten meticulous processes including stone grinding into pulp and deep-frying in iron pans. Its characteristics are thinness, fragrance, crispness, and crunchiness.
