Fuxian Fried Cake, also known as Nian Gao, boasts a long history and widespread fame. It is a municipal-level intangible cultural heritage protection project in our county. Its production process is meticulous, using high-quality yellow soft millet, a specialty of northern Shaanxi, as the raw material. Through twelve intricate steps - including shelling, cleaning, soaking, grinding, fermenting, steaming in a steamer, and deep-frying - it is crafted with precision, exemplifying the refinement of coarse grains. Moreover, it has a smooth, sticky, soft, and sweet taste, rich in various vitamins, amino acids, and other nutrients. It contains no additives and remains fresh for a long time after frying. In the past, it was only made and enjoyed during the New Year or important festivals due to its complex preparation process. Now, due to the intricacy of its production, it has become a rare delicacy and a cherished gift exchanged among neighbors and relatives during festivals.
