Lu Ji Fried Rice Cakes (Lu Ji Tang Mian Zha Gao)
"Lu ji" fried rice cakes were invented in 1918 and are a traditional Muslim food. Unlike "er duo yan" and other fried rice cakes, "lu ji" requires its dough made with boiling water before rubbing. Cooks then knead the dough into smaller pieces and make them contain sweet fillings such as red beans, haws and sugar before frying them. The finished rice cakes taste soft and crisp. Seniors and children alike especially enjoy "lu ji".
Luohan Du (Pork Tripe Stuffed with Meat)
Pork tripe stuffed with meat is a kind of braised food with soy sauce and is usually served as a cold dish. The snack is so-named because its layers of this distinct meat look like the portly belly of a Buddhist arhat—a Buddhist who has reached the stage of enlightenment.
