Both cakes and glutinous rice cakes are unique ethnic minority delicacies. For many people who have never eaten them, it is difficult for them to distinguish the difference between them. In fact, it depends on the production process and condiments of the two. The two foods can be distinguished very well by their appearance. In order to help you better understand these two delicacies, the following will give you a targeted introduction based on the characteristics of this delicacy. From the production process, both cakes and glutinous rice cakes need to be hammered, but condiments are added to the glutinous rice cakes in the later stages of production.
The making process of cakes: Generally speaking, the cakes made by Koreans have a unique flavor and are deeply loved by people. During the production process, the glutinous rice needs to be steamed first, and then placed The container is hammered with a wooden stick. The main reason why it is called dagao is that people need to constantly beat it with a wooden stick during the making process.
The production process of glutinous rice cake: The production process of glutinous rice cake is also based on this process. It is precisely because the early processing methods are the same that many people are confused and do not know the difference between the two. In the later stage of making glutinous rice cake, the hammered glutinous rice is made into the size of an egg, and then condiments such as peanuts, sesame, etc. are sprinkled on top.
So in terms of production technology, people can make a good difference as long as they pay attention to the post-processing methods. In terms of ingredients, rice cakes are mainly made of white glutinous rice and yellow rice, while glutinous rice cakes use condiments as their unique flavor.
Generally speaking, seasonings are rarely used in the production process of rice cakes. Generally, they are made into strips after hammering. In many areas, they are also called rice cakes. Currently, there are white rice cakes. There are two kinds of rice and yellow. The main reason for the difference in color is that the raw materials are different. One is white glutinous rice and the other is yellow rice. When people eat it, they generally need to stir-fry or heat it and then dip it in other seasonings.
In the process of making glutinous rice cakes, most of the seasoning powders are sprinkled directly on the surface of the food. They are usually eaten while making, so they taste unique and popular on the streets in many areas of our country. This delicacy is sold everywhere, and it is very popular in coastal areas such as Fujian, my country.
So, you can tell whether there are condiments on the surface of the food before eating. Generally speaking, you can eat it as soon as you hold it in your hand, and it is a glutinous rice cake with a layer of condiments on it. From the appearance, cakes are generally made into larger square shapes, while glutinous rice cakes are mostly round.
The dagao made in various parts of our country are generally rectangular. Since the dagao has been repeatedly hammered during the production process, it is very hard after cooling. It needs to be cut into slices and heated before eating. When eaten, whether it is fried meat or stewed in hot pot, the flavor is very unique. People can often see sliced ??white rice cakes in supermarkets. In fact, these are processed rice cakes.
In most cases, glutinous rice cakes are egg-sized and round. Generally, they are coated with a layer of peanuts, sesame powder and white sugar. This kind of food is generally made and eaten. The taste is mild and sweet.
So if you don’t know the difference between the two, you can easily distinguish the two delicacies just by looking at their appearance.
I feel that the three methods I introduced above are the most direct. If you want to have a deeper understanding of the differences between the two kinds of cuisine, I suggest you go to my country’s ethnic minority areas, whether it is the southwest ethnic minorities or the coastal areas of Fujian. These two delicacies are easy to see in various regions, where you can also personally participate in the preparation of the delicacies. I believe that as long as you can actively participate, everyone will have a deeper understanding of the two delicacies.
