I have tried Yuxin cake in Sichuan before, and I can't forget its sweet and sticky taste. However, due to the lack of a recipe, I haven't been able to make it myself. Occasionally flipping through Chinese cooking magazines, I discovered the recipe for this delicacy and quickly pulled out the grass. This delicious food is made of steamed sweet potatoes, glutinous rice flour and a little flour as the outer skin, which is wrapped with lotus paste stuffing, dipped in bread bran and fried. The sweet potato I used is white stuffed sweet potato. This sweet potato has a dry noodle taste, similar to the taste of chestnuts. Because the sweet potato is relatively dry, it will not form a ball after adding glutinous rice flour, so I added some steamed pumpkin soup, and then the appearance of coconut paste, which is more rich in flavor. After making it, I felt that this kind of local specialty food is not very difficult to make at home.
