Features: Rice cakes, faogao (glutinous rice cakes), and Hu-style cakes symbolize auspicious meanings like "rising year after year" and "prosperity all the way." They are always joyfully steamed during various festive activities. Impatient as we are, we can't help but peek every few minutes, asking, "Is it done yet?" With eager anticipation, the moment to lift the lid finally arrives. Then, like beautiful flowers floating in mist, the adorable faogao, accompanied by a delightful aroma, is presented before us. This also brings a wave of nostalgia whenever I think of cakes. This book features seven chapters with over 30 types of cake recipes, offering both sweet and savory options. In addition to familiar favorites like multi-layer cake, hundred-fruit sponge cake, osmanthus red bean cake, radish cake, and taro cake, the most special one is stir-fried rice cakes. Stir-fried rice cakes are actually very simple, with their unique chewy yet slightly firm texture. Paired with various fresh vegetables and ingredients, their flavor is just as delicious as stir-fried rice or noodles. However, most people aren't skilled at preparing them, so this book introduces eight different flavors of stir-fried rice cakes. We hope that stir-fried rice cakes can become a star on your dining table, offering something new and exciting to enjoy anytime.
