There are various versions of the origin of the name of Lvdagur (Glutinous Rice Rolls with Sweet Bean Flour). The most interesting version was told to me by my friend in Beijing. It is said that in the imperial kitchen of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial chef originally made a steamed rice cake for the emperor. Just as the eunuch was about to bring it to the emperor, he accidentally dropped the rice cake into a bucket filled with bean flour. When I took out the rice cake, I found that it was already covered in bean flour and couldn't be cleaned, so it was too late to make a new one. The little eunuch had to grit his head and present the rice cake covered in bean flour to the emperor. The emperor was very surprised when he saw it and asked him what kind of dish it was. The little eunuch came up with a name in a hurry, saying that this dish was called Lvdagur (Glutinous Rice Rolls with Sweet Bean Flour), because it looked like a donkey rolling on the loess covered with loess. After eating it, the emperor felt that the rice cake tasted great when coated with bean flour, so he asked the eunuch how it was made. At this moment, the eunuch told the emperor the whole story in detail, and instead of getting angry, the emperor praised him. Since then, Lvdagur (Glutinous Rice Rolls with Sweet Bean Flour) has become a typical local snack in Beijing.
