Chestnut noodles wowotou

The so-called "Wotou" of chestnut noodle is a cone-shaped steamed food with a hole in the bottom. Originally, it was made of corn flour, because the corn flour without fermentation is very difficult to steam, and making this shape is conducive to rapid steaming. Wotou used to be a common food for the bottom people. However, the Western Empress Dowager was ingenious and wanted to "have fun with the people", but it was made of chestnut flour, which was very expensive at that time, and it was much smaller. It became a snack and only flowed into the people after the Republic of China revolution.
