Pounded rice cake 打糕 →
Steamed glutinous rice is pounded until the grains merge into an elastic mass, then cut and coated or served with accompaniments. Bean powder is a familiar finishing choice. The cake is dense, stretchy and gently grain-sweet; the coating adds a dry, nutty contrast. It firms as it cools and ages.
Rice sausage 米肠 →
Rice is mixed with other seasoned ingredients, stuffed into a casing and cooked before the sausage is sliced. Recipes may include blood, meat, vegetables or starch noodles; the name alone does not settle the contents. The rice gives a soft, compact chew, while the casing holds each slice together. Seasoning and fillings determine whether the flavor is mild or pronounced.
