Chaoshan rice cakes have a long history, probably more than 500 years ago. Red peach cake is named after its shape of peach fruit. Peach fruit symbolizes longevity, so making red peach cake reflects the wish to pray for blessings. During the eighth festival of every year, almost every household will make red peach cakes to worship ancestors and gods. Red peach cake has a special dietary and cultural status in the minds of Chaoshan people. The activities of worshiping gods in various seasons and festivals every year are always indispensable. The shape of "shou peach" is believed to mean longevity and good luck; Red symbolizes prosperity and joy. In addition to using it to worship gods and pray for peace and happiness, red peach cake is also deeply loved by Chaoshan people because of its delicious taste.

Add the seasoning and mix evenly as usual for fried rice. . After the rice noodles are steamed, knead them while they are hot. 6. Add snow powder immediately after steaming. (It seems that tapioca starch or wheat starch can also be used. Snow powder is Chaoshan dialect. I am not sure what kind of powder it is.) After adding snow powder, you can knead the rice dumplings. When kneading is not sticky and elastic, add some oil. Add oil because the skin of the kueh will be shiny and more beautiful
7. Once the kueh is printed, put it in boiling water and steam it for 20 minutes before taking it out. You can fry or steam it if you want to eat it. Personally, I prefer frying it because it is more fragrant
