Hey there, foodies! 🍰 Have you ever tasted a piece of spring? In Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, artisans are giving traditional Qingming rice cakes a colorful twist! 🌈
Qingming Festival, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day, is a time when families honor their ancestors. But it’s also a time for yummy treats! The rice cakes, made from sticky rice flour mixed with a special herb called Chinese mugwort, are usually green and super tasty.
This year, the cakes are more vibrant than ever! 🎨 Artisans are decorating them with delicate flower shapes, making them almost too pretty to eat. 🌺🌸
If you bite into one, you’ll enjoy the soft, chewy texture and a hint of sweetness. It’s like taking a bite out of springtime! 🌷
This year’s Qingming Festival is on April 4th. Why not try making your own colorful rice cakes at home? You can decorate them with your favorite designs. Let your creativity shine! ✨
