Yellow Millet Cake

Last updated 2026-11-10 — Yellow Millet Cake　　Yellow Millet Cake is made by burning a unique shrub from the high mountains of Songyang to ash, filtering its juice, and using the liquid to soak premium glutinous rice until the grains turn orange-yellow. The rice is then rinsed, steamed, pounded into a dough-like mass in a stone mortar, cut into small pieces, and while still hot, kneaded and pressed into flat, round or elongated shapes. The finished cake is glossy, fragrant, soft, and delicious. Stir-fried with shredded pork, green vegetables, and bamboo shoots, it achieves the best flavor and appearance, making it a traditional delicacy enjoyed during local festivals or when hosting distinguished guests in Songyang.
