Eight treasure sweet rice
Eight treasure rice is an indispensable traditional snack on the New Year's table of Shaanxi people, soft glutinous sweet aroma accompanied by a little bit of strong nuts, is a real popular dessert dish.
According to legend, the Eight Treasures Sweet Rice is related to the story of "Zhou Bashi cremation of King Yin". In the mid-11th century BC, King Wu of Zhou extinguished the merchants and held a grand celebration in the Western Zhou capital of Hojing (present-day southwest of Xi'an), where the imperial chef steamed eight treasures into a delicacy and poured red hawthorn juice on it when served, symbolizing "the Zhou people cremated the King of Yin". Eight treasures of sweet rice have been passed down to this day. Subsequently, it evolved into the use of white (shochu) sake to cremate brown sugar, and once the brown sugar is cremated, the sugar juice emits a rich aroma and dissolves it in the colorful Eight Treasure Rice, which has a unique flavor. The sweet rice means that next year's day can be sweet and sweet!
