Every month before the New Year, almost every family in Ningbo will have rice cakes, most of which are sent by relatives in the countryside, stacked square stacks horizontally and vertically, can't finish eating, soaked in water, menstruated not bad; less is like me, want to eat to go to the vegetable market or supermarket to buy, how much to eat and buy how much to buy. For me, who has never left Ningbo since I was a child, sometimes I think that if I leave my hometown one day, what I miss is probably not the more famous Ningbo tangyuan, but the Ningbo rice cake.
The vacuum-packed rice cakes in supermarkets are rarely bought by Ningbo people, and the vacuum-wrapped sliced rice cakes are not bought, because the water is lost, and the cooked rice cakes will lose their soft and sticky and smooth taste. Therefore, those who can buy handmade rice cakes do not buy machine rice cakes, and those who can buy whole rice cakes do not buy sliced rice cakes.
Rice cakes are usually made into salty soup rice cakes or fried rice cakes, and can also be made into sweet sweet potato rice cake soup, but this is usually used as a snack and rarely for dinner.
For us in Ningbo, making a bowl of fried rice cake or rice cake soup is as casual as people eating a bowl of fried noodles or soup noodles in other places, but the more homely food, the more tired of eating.
Rice cake, it has its own temperature.
