Beijing Aiwowo

Beijing Aiwowo is a traditional snack with a long history. Its main ingredient is glutinous rice. First, steam the glutinous rice to make a soft and glutinous rice skin. The filling is usually very rich, including sesame, crushed peanuts, melon seeds, walnuts, etc. These crushed nuts are mixed with white sugar and stirred evenly to form a sweet and delicious filling. When making it, take an appropriate amount of glutinous rice skin, wrap the filling in it, and roll it into a spherical shape. Aiwowo has a round and lovely appearance and a white color. It tastes soft and glutinous. The softness of the outer skin contrasts with the sweetness and rich taste of the filling. The flavors of various nuts spread in the mouth, bringing a sweet and satisfying taste experience. It is not only a favorite dessert of Beijingers in their daily lives but also often appears on some traditional festivals or celebration occasions, carrying the food culture and traditional memories of Beijing.
