Yongkang meat wheat cake is famous for its simple production, exquisite ingredients, exquisite workmanship, low price and unique flavor. There are two kinds of fillings, one is pork with pickles (pickled with potherb mustard), and the other is pork with dried vegetables (dried pickles, steamed in pot and dried in the sun) unique to Yongkang. Most of the pots of sesame cakes are shallow and flat, and charcoal is placed under the pot, so that the sesame cakes are full, yellow, soft and crisp.

1. Knead the dough with proper amount of flour, and the flour is slightly thin.

2. Chop the meat into small pieces, chop the ginger and garlic, put them in a container with the meat, add a little salt (because the cabbage is salty) and a little monosodium glutamate, and mix them evenly with the meat for later use.

3. Beat the dough into balls and stick it into dough. In the process of making, there should be a stick from the inside out, with a thick inside and a thin outside. However, under the premise of not breaking, the finer the noodles, the better.

4. Take a proper amount of meat and put it on the dough. Lift a corner of the dough and twist it clockwise like a steamed bread. Press air into the cake and take out the excess noodles when twisting.

5. Heat the pot, put the cake in the pot, cover it, simmer for one minute on high fire, then simmer for one minute on low fire, then open the pot cover and repeat it 2-3 times on each side for about 7-8 minutes.
