Nanxi Wheat Cakes

　　　　Nanxi Wheat Cakes originally come from Shatou in Yongjia. The ingredients for one wheat cake are: half a jin of wheat flour, one egg, one tablespoon of cooking oil, stirred and kneaded until smooth, then shaped into a concave form, filled with pickled vegetables, fresh meat, steamed shrimp, and monosodium glutamate. After wrapping, it is pounded flat into a round shape with a wooden mallet, placed on a flat iron griddle to cook both sides until white, and then transferred to an oven to be baked until hard. It is crispy and tender in texture, bursting with aroma, and can be considered a delicacy.
