Last updated 2026-11-10 — Wheat and Mung Bean Rice　　After the Qingming Festival, local wheat and mung beans gradually come onto the market in Songyang. Farmers select fresh wheat and mung bean grains along with premium glutinous rice, mixing them with diced ham from Songyang bamboo-leaf smoked ham or cured pork, and then stir-fry them slightly in a pot with seasonings such as salt and monosodium glutamate to enhance the flavor before adding water to braise until cooked. The resulting Wheat and Mung Bean Rice boasts the fragrant aroma of wheat and mung beans along with the smoky taste of ham, featuring a delightful mix of green, red, and white colors. It has an excellent flavor that is truly mouthwatering, making it a fine dish served to guests by local farming households.
