Hengshan fried glutinous rice cake
2024-10-29
Fried glutinous rice cake is a traditional handmade snack with a history of over 1,000 years. The main raw materials include glutinous rice, medicinal koji, oil, sugar, etc. Through multiple production processes, the kneaded rice balls are finally pressed into flat round pieces. They are then fried in a hot oil pan until both sides turn golden. Nowadays, it has also become a must for Hengshan people to treat guests.
Based on the cooking skills of their ancestors, inheritors also add ingredients that nourish the stomach, control sugar, and aid digestion in the production process to make the fried glutinous rice cake more delicate and healthier, further promoting the development of Hengshan’s fried glutinous rice cake production techniques.
“We are applying for a municipal-level intangible cultural heritage project for Kaoshanwang Fried Glutinous Rice Cake. In the future, we will make it our food brand in Hengshan, so that every guest hopes to eat it,” said an inheritor of Kaoshanwang Fried Glutinous Rice Cake.
