Under the drum tower and by the wall, it's greedy to shout. Childhood. Memories. Sweet happiness between lips and teeth. This snack is the memory of my childhood. It's soft, waxy and sweet. Stand by the snack stand and enjoy it while it's hot. It's a small beauty that you don't often get but you think. It's a small round one. It's inserted with a bamboo stick which is divided into two parts at the top. It's like a small round mirror when it's held in the hand. So it's called Mirror Cake. It's easy to make. The main raw materials are complete. Brown sugar, green red silk, honey (white sugar), sweet osmanthus, sugar rose It's best to eat while it's hot.

Cooking Steps
Step1:Grind the rice with a blender to get small particles close to the powder. Add the same amount of glutinous rice flour and stir well.
Step2:Stir with a small amount of water for many times. Rub the lumps away with your hands. It's OK to feel a little wet. Never wet the dough. There is no special small round steamer for snack stands in the family. Instead of using a Tarter mold (with a diameter of 7cm), scoop in a layer of rice flour first, add a pinch of brown sugar in the middle, and then cover with a layer of rice flour. Press it gently. No need to press it very porcelain solid. The surface is a little flat. This quantity is just six.
Step3:Put in the steamer. I use a small steamer. There are three on the first floor and six on the second floor. Steam for half an hour regularly after boiling. Steam on the snack stand for two minutes. That's because the rice flour and glutinous rice flour have been steamed to 9 maturity in advance. Then mix and return to steaming to make the diner eat hot and fresh.
Step4:In the process of steaming, prepare the dip material. I use the cooked peanuts. Crush them with a rolling pin. Add black sesame seeds. If there is green and red silk, you can use it. Then prepare honey and sweet osmanthus or sugar rose.
Step5:Steamed. There is no small bamboo stick on the snack stand that can split one end into two at home. I'll replace it with a fruit fork. First, pick it up, insert it from the side, and then pick it out.
Step6:It doesn't look like little round mirrors?
Step7:Pour some honey on the bottom. Wipe it with the back of a spoon. It can also be dipped in white sugar. It's not easy to dip it in nuts again.
Step8:Put another layer of nuts on the bottom.
Step9:Finally, pour a layer of sweet osmanthus or rose on the face. It's done.
Step10:Eat while it's hot. The taste of soft waxy teeth. Sweet and fragrant taste. Don't run out. Enjoy it with your family at home.
Cooking tips:1. I added a small amount of water several times. So I didn't measure the specific amount. I added a spoon of water and stirred it. Then I repeated this procedure. It was dry at the beginning. Later, there would be caking. I rubbed the caking and felt it was wet. The waxy rice flour was not sticky. 2. When loading the tarting mold, it should not be too loose. It is not easy to steam out, but it should not be pressed too hard. It is not easy to steam. It is necessary to master the strength. It should be pressed a little tightly and the surface should be flat. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
