Shi gang CuO Gao

Shigang cake is a specialty of Shigang Town, Tongzhou District, Nantong City, Jiangsu Province. The cake, whose real name is printed cake, is white and soft, sweet and delicious, cool but not hard. There is a traditional seasonal tea in Shigang, a thousand-year-old town, called Migao. Speaking of its tradition, according to the descendants of Jiuruzhai Tea Shop in Shigang, his ancestors moved from Zhenjiang to Shigang for more than 150 years to avoid war. When we say it is timely, it means that it has been supplied to long summer for nearly two months every year, and there is no supply in the market after long summer. Cooking cake, whose real name is printed cake, is named after each cake is printed with pink. In the early years of the Republic of China, Yao Shaoting, the owner of Dexingxiang Tea Shop in Shigang, failed in his studies, and failed to gain fame. However, he usually talked about words, and even changed the name of "Yingao" to "Migao". Other tea shops followed suit and changed the name of "Yingao" to "Migao". Among several big tea shops in Nantong city, some tea chefs are Shi Hong people, and they are also called "Migao". So the convention became, and it is still called "the cake" until now. The cake is a favorite tea for local residents. The cake is named after each cake is printed with pink. The rice flour used to make rice cakes is locally produced japonica rice, and a certain proportion of glutinous rice is added. Before processing, soak the rice for 7 days, wash it for 7 times, then grind it into rice flour, add sweet-scented osmanthus bean paste and steam it into cakes. The cake made in this way is white and soft, sweet and delicious, cool but not hard. Shigang Migao is a seasonal tea food, which is only served for two months every year, usually starting from the fright and ending before long summer.
