Mirror cake is a special snack of Hui nationality, which has a history of hundreds of years. It is made of glutinous rice mirror cake powder and steamed in a steamer carved by hand with special wood. Shaanxi local accent often pronounces the word "Jing" (mirror), so that some people often write the word "Jing" wrong.

For this reason, someone once wrote an article to correct the pronunciation of the word "Zan". Unfortunately, when explaining mirror cake, it is inferred that mirror cake is glutinous rice cake only by pronunciation, and the two foods are confused.

Mirror cakes are made of glutinous rice, but they taste softer and more waxy than zongzi. Mirror cakes are usually packed in rice barrels. In order to reduce heat dissipation, there is an insulated cotton-like thing on the barrel, so it will still feel hot when eating mirror cakes, while the dumplings sold outside are made of zongzi leaves, so the taste is not quite the same.

Some people think that they are made of the same material. In fact, the dates in the mirror cake are not red dates, but candied dates, because candied dates have been preserved before. When eating mirror cake, no one should dip in sugar because it tastes just right. If you soak them in sugar like zongzi, you will feel very tired.

Pan cake is one of the traditional breakfasts of Anren people, and it is named "Pan" because of its ancient name. The steamed retort bag can be obviously divided into two layers, the upper layer is cloud beans, which are brown in coffee; The lower layer of white rice permeates the jujube color and presents a fresh crimson color.
