rice cake at home

What does your cake look like?

Put it in a round aluminum paper tub with a plastic cover on it? Is it a carp mixed with orange and white? If you want to continue counting, you can probably list many different appearances; but for me, the rice cake must be carried in banana leaves and bamboo baskets, and the weight should start from five jin, and more importantly, there must be inside. Salted egg yolk.

Yes, rice cakes from Zhongshan.

Every year at the end of the year, my grandmother would always ask someone to bring rice cakes. Heavy plastic bags are filled with heavy rice cakes, and every time we take the rice cakes, we always wonder, how many egg yolks are in this year's cakes? This question is not easy to answer, because the rice cakes are usually eaten for several weeks, and the taste is shared by everyone in the family, so it is difficult to calculate the total number; but it is certain that there are at least three or more.

Another characteristic of this rice cake must be its "hair" - "fat" moldy "hair". It is estimated that because of the humid climate, the rice cake will start to mold after a week or so, but don't think it will be disgusted by it. On the contrary, the more "fat", the better the meaning, and the more loved by the elders.

As for the taste of this rice cake? It is estimated that it is also the sweetness of sucrose, but it is a bit vague. After all, I have been away from home for a while, and I am afraid that the memory will be biased and add points to it; I can only wait for the next time I go home and taste it carefully. , and then take note.

In the past two years, many people have been unable to go home for too many reasons, unable to eat a bite of rice cakes that belong to "home", so I would like to borrow the above words to wish you good luck "cake" photos, health and safety!
