【Hunan】Tomato rice cake

Rice cake is a traditional food used by Chinese people to celebrate the Spring Festival. Especially in the south, during the Chinese New Year, there is a custom of making and eating rice cakes. Nian Gao, also known as Nian Nian Gao, is homophonic with Nian Nian Gao, which means that people's work and life are improving year by year. In my hometown, we must eat rice cakes during the Chinese New Year, which represents people's yearning for a better life. The process of making traditional handmade rice cakes is particularly complex and requires seven steps: soaking rice, grinding flour, squeezing water, sifting, steaming rice flour, pounding rice flour, and shaping. In particular, the process of pounding the flour is very laborious. If it is pounded too much, it will become hard, and if it is pounded too soft, it will become sticky. Several people often work together, and the workers are sweating profusely even in the middle of winter. The final shaping is our juniors' favorite process. Black sesame seeds are mixed with white sugar as filling, and the rice cake is shaped into the shape of ingots and fish. If you don't like sweets, you can make it salty and wrap it with some shredded mustard vegetables, which also has a unique flavor. Everyone was in harmony together, talking and laughing, and the young and old ate with gusto, which was full of New Year's flavor.
