1. Sesame ball

The difference between Yongkang sesame balls and ordinary sesame balls is that they are not as big as ordinary sesame balls, but the taste is still very good. The shell covered with white sesame seeds is extremely crispy and sweet when bitten. The red bean filling inside is moderate in size, sweet but not greasy, and tastes sweet and delicious. Yongkang people like to use this local specialty sesame ball for breakfast. Of course, for Yongkang people who love to eat sesame balls, sesame balls are not only limited to breakfast, but are also suitable as daily snacks.

2. Yongkang Steamed Cake

For Yongkang people, steamed cake is one of the indispensable staple foods. Yongkang people believe that steamed cake is made of corn flour and white flour. Coarse grains are good for human health, so Yongkang people regard it as a treasure. Yongkang people have just the right proportion of coarse grains and fine grains in ordinary steamed cake, so that the steamed cake does not feel rough at all, but is delicate and has the aroma of corn flour. With the embellishment of raisins, it has a unique flavor.

3. Meat and wheat cakes

Unlike ordinary pancakes that are fried or steamed, Yongkang meat and wheat pancakes are baked, so the crust is very crispy. The filling inside is a combination of Yongkang's unique sauerkraut and dried plums, so it has a unique flavor, fragrant but not greasy. It is a special snack that Yongkang people must eat when they return to their hometown. This time when I came to Yongkang, I also tasted this special snack of Yongkang. The taste is indeed unforgettable compared to ordinary pancakes in other places.

Yongkang steamed balls do not look very special in appearance, but the people of Yongkang have endowed their local delicacies with the most simple appearance and the most outstanding taste. The Yongkang steamed balls are white and smooth in appearance, but they taste extraordinary. They combine the four advantages of steamed balls, namely cotton, soft, elastic and fragrant, and are an indispensable delicacy for the people of Yongkang and outsiders who come to Yongkang. There are many ways to eat Yongkang steamed balls. You can eat them plain or wrap them with black sesame seeds or mung bean powder.
