Jiande tofu buns 建德豆腐包 →
Leavened wheat dough is filled with seasoned tofu, often including chili, then steamed into soft buns. The tofu is cut or crumbled so it holds seasoning inside the bread. The wrapper is fluffy and mild, while the center is tender, moist and savory, sometimes with a clear chili kick.
Osmanthus glutinous-rice lotus root 桂花糯米藕 →
Glutinous rice is packed into the holes of a lotus root, which is slowly cooked in sweet liquid and sliced. Osmanthus flowers or syrup add the final fragrance. Tender lotus root retains a little structure around the sticky rice, with a rich, floral sweetness throughout. The slices are more substantial than a light fruit dessert.
