Curd cake is one of the specialties of Chaoshan Cuisine. There is an interesting legend about the origin of the name of the curd cake. It is said that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a Chaozhou boss of the Ding clan who specialized in snacks. This Ding boss treats the workers very harshly, often for several months without even paying the wages, and the workers are very distressed. At the end of the year, there was a cake-making teacher who wanted to get angrier and angrier, and the squeezed wages were still not given, so he went to the bakery and poured the raw materials: peanuts, white pork, sesame seeds, southern milk, garlic, sugar oil, flour, wine, etc. into a large vat, stirred the raw materials, and then packed up and extended. By the time Boss Ding found out that the teacher was missing, it had been several days, and he couldn't find him. At this time, Boss Ding's wife went to the workshop, and when she opened the door, she smelled a fragrance, so she took the materials in the vat as filling and made it into a cake to sell, and the business was actually very hot. After that, Boss Ding took the ingredients in the big vat as a cake filling, and it became a curd cake, because the cake was made with a prominent taste of milk, so people called it curd cake.
The main ingredients of the curd cake are: peanuts, sesame seeds, flour, glutinous rice, southern milk, diced white meat, minced garlic, rice wine, powdered sugar.
