Ciba is made of glutinous rice and potatoes. After soaking in water, steam them in a steamer, and then quickly pound them in a stone mortar until they are soft and flexible. While hot, make the rice paste into large or small balls, roll them in a plate of sesame powder mixed with white sugar (or soybean powder mixed with white sugar), and then eat them. It tastes sweet.Nowadays, street vendors mostly use pedal tricycles to sell. The rice paste is placed in a special iron bucket with good heat preservation performance.

Wash the glutinous rice, rinse off the bran and impurities, soak for more than 4 hours, drain the water, and steam it in a rice steamer until it is 90% cooked. Pour the steamed glutinous rice into the stone mortar and beat it with a pedal-driven pestle or a handheld “T”-shaped mallet. Because the glutinous rice is sticky and the rice is hot, a basin of cold boiled water and a “rescuer” is needed next to the stone mortar.Specific steps Wash the glutinous rice and steam it. Put yellow beeswax in tea oil, heat and melt it, and apply it on the surface of tabletops, door panels, stone mortars, mallets, and other utensils.Put the glutinous rice in the stone mortar and beat it hard with a large T-shaped mallet. Glutinous rice is very sticky, so usually two strong men come to “beat” it up and down. In the middle of winter, you still sweat even with your bare chest.After the glutinous rice is mashed into mud, take it out and put it on the table. While it is hot, pinch out a fist-sized rice ball, flatten it into a cake, and then press it with a door panel and a weight. When the glutinous rice cools down, it will take shape.Ciba can be stored for a long time. If you put it in a large water tank, soak it in water, and change the water regularly, you can eat it until June or July.Heat the oil over medium heat, then turn to low heat, rinse the Ciba, drain, and fry it.Turn it over several times, and when you see the Ciba swell up, you can take it out of the pot!Baked ciba can be coated with sugar, or sugar can be poured into the Ciba, and the heat inside will dissolve the sugar into sugar water. At this time, the ciba tastes sweet and fragrant. The sugar is common white sugar, and if there are homemade brown sugar slices, it will be even better. You can also wrap the ciba with fermented bean curd (called moldy tofu in Xiangxi) and spread a thin layer. If there is kitchen equipment, the Ciba can also be fried in oil, cut into pieces, and cooked with sweet wine, each with its flavor.
