Fried Dough Stick Wrapped in Sticky Rice 油条包麻糍
Fried Dough Stick Wrapped in Sticky Rice is featured among the local specialties of Jiangxi.
Fried Dough Stick Wrapped in Sticky Rice (油条包麻糍) is a Jingdezhen (景德镇) snack that joins two everyday foods: youtiao (油条), the long fried dough stick, and maci (麻糍), a glutinous-rice cake. The two are put together and paired with sesame and white sugar. It is on the list of 20 famous snacks that Jingdezhen's commerce bureau announced around the start of 2024.
Flavour and texture
The appeal is the contrast. A visitor guide from Jingdezhen's culture and tourism service describes the maci as sweet and the fried dough stick as salty; eaten together they give a layered mouthful. The same guide offers it to visitors who cannot take much chilli, as one of the city's snacks with a different flavour. It recommends the snack for breakfast, with a cup of soy milk.
Where it comes from
According to a January 2024 report by the Jiangxi Daily group's Jingdezhen channel, the Jingdezhen commerce bureau and the city's Party publicity department had recently announced a list of named dishes for "Jingdezhen cuisine" (景德镇菜): 30 famous dishes and 20 famous snacks. The fried dough stick with maci was named among the snacks, alongside Jingde cold rice noodles (景德冷粉) and Zhushan steamed buns (珠山包子).
