Matuan

Matuan
Matuan, a snack I ate more when I was a child, is made of glutinous rice flour, sugar, lard and water, kneaded into shape, and fried in a frying pan. Because it has a round shape and is covered with sesame seeds, it is named Ma Tuan. Nowadays, people advocate healthy eating, with less oil and salt, so they eat less. However, it still smells very good when eaten by men.
