Where does Xunyi retort pouch belong?

Ciba is a local delicacy in Xunyi. It has a long history. According to the test, glutinous rice cake evolved from the oldest "powder cake" in China, and it tended to be stereotyped in the Tang Dynasty. Because retort pouch is steamed in retort pouch, it is called retort pouch.

The production process of retort pouch is complicated, and the raw materials are glutinous rice and jujube. When making, take a certain amount of glutinous rice and soak it in cold water for 2-4 hours. After the rice core is soaked, wash it with clear water to control the moisture. Take a certain proportion of jujube and wash it for later use. First, spread a layer of jujube evenly on the iron grate, take a third of the rice and spread it on the jujube, and so on. Finally, evenly spread a layer of jujube, cover the jujube with a layer of white cloth, and add a pot cover for stewing and steaming. In the process of steaming and stewing, firepower and water are very important. At first, I heated it fiercely with a big fire, and poured a little warm water on the rice every 30 minutes. After one hour, steam and simmer for about 3-5 hours. The baked rice cake is a mixture of rice and jujube, which is fresh and moist in color, soft and sweet, and full of jujube fragrance. It tastes as sweet as honey, refreshing and memorable.
