Zhanghu Light Cake is a specialty of Zhanghu Town, Yanping District, Nanping City, Fujian Province. Zhanghu Light Cake is famous for its crispness, fragrance and good taste. Light cake is a kind of crisp pasta, round dry cake with sesame seeds on the top and holes in the middle. It is crispy and attractive, and the price is quite cheap. Friends with good teeth can try it. According to historical records, during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang, a national hero, led an army into Fujian to chase and annihilate the enemy. He didn't want it to be rainy for days, so the army couldn't raise a stove. Qi Jiguang ordered him to bake a simple biscuit and hang it on his soldiers with hemp rope as dry food, which greatly facilitated the battle to wipe out the enemy. Later, this cookie flowed into the people. Later generations felt sorry for Qi Gong, so they called this cookie "light cake". There are two kinds of Zhanghu Sakamoto light cakes, namely: salty cakes with white sesame seeds on the surface, crispy cakes, crispy and delicious, and light salty cakes, which are called "light cakes" by locals; Another kind of sugar (brown sugar) is a sweet cake, with black sesame seeds on the cake surface. The cake can be baked well, and it tastes fragrant, tender and delicious, with a light sweetness. People call it "moist"; There is also a kind of scone derived from light cake, which is five centimeters wide and has four hooves on the upper layer. Because of its horseshoe shape, it is called "horseshoe cake". On March 18th, 1991, Zhanghu Town held a new town relocation celebration, and a comrade who was then acting governor of Fujian Province came here to celebrate the ribbon-cutting. The local people used "Xiangguandou Fried Light Cake" as the first course, which was dedicated to our governor and guests from all directions to taste, and it was also passed down as a much-told story for a while. Anyone who is an old guest of Zhanghu Sakamoto or who leaves after living for a long time will patronize the "fried light cake" when he comes here again, and this "local dish" often makes them linger. The procedure of "frying light cakes" is relatively simple, and the key lies in mastering the cooking temperature and the collocation of seasonings. When frying light cakes, first cut the light cakes into four pieces, put them in a hot oil pan and oil them. After the cakes are saturated with oil, drain the oil for later use, stir-fry the beans in a separate pan, add the cooked light cakes, and stir-fry with seasoning.
