sweet osmanthus rice cake
Sweet osmanthus rice cake is a traditional Chinese dessert made from glutinous rice flour, sugar, and infused with the fragrant flowers of the osmanthus plant. The cake is often steamed, resulting in a soft and chewy texture, and is typically enjoyed during festivals or special occasions.
The addition of osmanthus flowers gives the rice cake a unique floral aroma and a hint of sweetness. This dessert is not only popular in China but also appreciated in other East Asian cultures, where it is often served with tea or as a festive treat during celebrations like the Mid-Autumn Festival.
