Chongming cake is a special pastry originating from Chongming District, Shanghai. In the past, there was a folk proverb in Chongming District called "no money, no money, steamed cake for the New Year", which is Chongming cake. Most people think that Chongming cake is steamed from glutinous rice flour, but in fact, a certain proportion of japonica rice is added to it, so it is smoother in taste than pure glutinous rice. Chongming cake is divided into pine cake and hard cake, pine cake cold food, hard cake hot food. Chongming cake will also add sugar, red beans, red dates, walnuts, melon seeds and other accessories, which tastes sweet and soft without sticking to the teeth, and the addition of accessories also makes the overall taste richer. Although the production skills of Chongming cake have been included in the intangible cultural heritage of Shanghai, the inheritance situation seems to be green.
