What kind of food is Ciba?

Ciba is a traditional snack in southern China, which is mainly made of glutinous rice flour and water. It tastes soft, Q-shaped and sweet. Glutinous rice flour is a kind of powder made from glutinous rice by cooking, pulping and sieving. Because of its strong viscosity, it can make Ciba have a unique taste and shape.

Ciba is generally round or oblate with a layer of glutinous rice flour on its surface. In some places, stuffing such as bean paste and sesame seeds will be placed in the rice cake, which is more delicious. Ciba can be eaten as a snack for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea, and can also be cooked with other ingredients, such as Ciba sugar water and fried meat.

In addition to South China, Ciba has similar cuisines in Southeast Asia, Japan and other regions, such as Malaysian coconut milk Ciba and Japanese sesame cakes.
