Brief introduction of Tian Ai cake

Ai Gao, also called Gao, is commonly known as Miangao in Leizhou dialect. On holidays, people always mash the wormwood (motherwort) juice picked from the ground, add sugar water, mix it with glutinous rice flour, knead it into a ball, then wrap it in stuffing made of peanuts, tremella and sugar, and steam it with pineapple leaves (jackfruit leaves).

They also make it in Wuchuan. They use salted shredded radish with sausage, sesame, peanuts, dried tangerine peel and shredded coconut as fillings, and rice flour with Tian Ai Rong. After steaming, Tian Ai cakes are oily, shiny and dark, with the green light of Tian Ai. Peel off the leaf pad and put it in your mouth while it is hot. The fragrance is overflowing and the sugar gum overflows the corners of your mouth. The smell of various fillings and the smell of Artemisia argyi and cushion leaves make you want to eat again.
