A chilled combination of fruit, sticky rice and crushed ice offers a change of texture after savory food.

How it is made

Fruit is blended or worked with cooked sticky rice and ice into a thick chilled dessert, then finished with optional toppings. The rice gives more body than a simple fruit juice.

Flavour & texture

The texture is icy but creamy and slightly grainy, with fruit sweetness and chewy or crunchy additions depending on the stall.

Local roots & traditions

Bingjiang is a recognizable Guizhou cold dessert, often enjoyed as a change of texture after spicy snacks.
