According to my hometown dialect, rat shell cake is called water pigeon turtle. It is a snack made every year during the Qingming Festival in my hometown. My aunt picks wild rat shell cotton before Qingming every year and brings the prepared rat shell cake to my house. It is thanks to my aunt's blessing that I can enjoy this delicious dish! The mouse shell rice is usually made with Zhizhi Fried Dough Twists raw stuffing, Red bean soup and mung bean paste as sweet stuffing, or glutinous rice as salty stuffing! As someone who is not in my hometown, I chose to shop for rat shell cotton online and found that some places in other regions also have this snack. However, rat shell cotton is a bit different. Most of the rat shell cotton in other regions is yellow flowers, while white flowers are generally used in Chaoshan area!
