rice cake
This snack is available in the north and south, but the recipes are different, but the ingredients used are roughly the same. In the north, it is also called "rice cake" or "bee cake". It is made from steamed noodles, while many people in the Jiangnan area are made from dried noodles without fermentation, so it is relatively simple to operate.
The muffin cake made today is made from dry noodles. This snack is also called "Mi-Fragrant Pine Cake". To make this sponge cake, traditionally, a wooden mold with detachable square and four sides is used. After steaming, you can cut it into neat small pieces with a knife. If you don't have a mold at home, you can also use a metal plate or a small bowl to serve as a mold. After making it, you can turn the mold and cut it into pieces, but there is no special mold to make it neat and beautiful. I use a metal mousse ring commonly used in western cakes. This mold is very easy to use. After steaming, the mold can be reversed with just a slight tap. The specific procedures are as follows;

    Characteristics of snacks: beautiful shape, fragrant osmanthus, soft cakes, dry aroma on the entrance, rich fruit ingredients and sweet taste. Warm tips: 1. When making this snack, don't use too much water when kneading the dough, so that the dry powder feels slightly moist and can remain loose. 2. The filling can also be spread with some bean paste filling or lotus paste filling in the middle layer. 3. When laying rice noodles in the mold, do not compress them. Just gently scrape them flat and keep them loose, otherwise the taste will not be good. This private snack "Mi-Fragrant Pine Cake" is ready for friends 'reference!
