Before the quick-frozen dumplings were popular, they were all made at home, solid glutinous rice dumplings, and finally sprinkled with sweet sugar after they were cooked. Some areas in the south will eat rice cakes during the Spring Festival, such as Hunan. The homophonic "rice cake" means getting taller every year.
