甑糕(jìng gāo) is a traditional Chinese dessert originating from the central Shaanxi plain. The word “甑糕” is technically pronounced as “zèng gāo,” but it is conventionally pronounced “jìng gāo” because of the accent in that part of China. “甑” is a container, similar to a steamer, with small holes in the bottom. Since this container is used to make rice and jujube cake, the dessert is called “甑糕.”

Yummy. I would love to make this! I love rice cakes so this is perfect for me! Thank you very much!
Wow, this looks so appetizing! I have never made a Chinese dessert besides mochi in my life! I’ll be sure to try this recipe! Thanks for showing me something this refreshing! Amazing job!
I have had this dessert countless times. In Chinese bakeries, one can buy them for less than a dollar each. They come in containers similar to a cupcake wrapper. Although it is not my favorite, I still get at least one every time I go to a Chinese Bakery. Thanks for sharing!
Wow! This looks awesome! As an avid rice cake fan, this gets me hungry. I’m surprised to see that the recipe isn’t all too complicated. Thanks!
hello. i never knew that jujube existed. i never knew it existed! its so interesting. your video was really easy to follow and listen to.
I like rice. I never knew they had Chinese rice. I always eat rice. Next time I get Chinese food I’m going to get rice. Yum
This dessert seems really good. I have never tried this dessert. I would love to try this. This sounds like an exotic food. But, it sounds like a tasty food.
Interesting article! I know that China has a lot of desserts but I never knew about this one. I didn’t know that it originated in the Shaanxi plain. Maybe next time I visit China, I should go there and try authentic jing gao. Thanks for sharing!
Great article/video! I have never heard about 甑糕 before and would like to try it one day. It kind of reminds me of 八宝饭 due to the rice and amount of toppings in it.
Nice Video! It looks really good! If I just looked at it without the title I would say this looks more like a rice dish than a dessert.
Such an amazing video! If I were making this dish, your video would be my first go-to. I wonder what the finished dessert tastes like! Is the rice at the bottom sweet? Maybe I can try the dish one day!
Nice video some of the desserts on their look delicous
