Purple rice cake

Purple rice cake
Because its shape is like a flower, and the steamed cake means "getting rich", there is the saying of "making cakes to get rich." In the past, the steamed cake used to use red vermilion paste (red pigment) to complement each other with the red of the Spring Festival and promote good luck. But now people don't use pigments in order not to eat too much pigments, and now they use natural ingredients to make it.
Taiwanese people like to make their own steamed cakes during the New Year. It is said that the bigger the cracks in the steamed cakes, the more money they will make this year.
