Red peach cake

What the real thing tastes like

Red peach cake (Chinese: 紅桃粿; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: âng-thô-kóe), also known as rice peach cake (Chinese: 飯桃粿; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: pn̄g-thô-kóe) and rice cake (Chinese: 飯粿; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: pn̄g-kóe) is a small teardrop shaped Teochew kuih (stuffed dumpling) with soft sticky glutinous rice flour skin wrapped over a filling of glutinous rice, peanuts, mushrooms, and shallots. The skin of the kuih is often dyed pink, and shaped with a wooden mould before steaming. The cake is native to the Teochew people.

Red peach cake is a delicate Teochew dumpling that looks like a small, blushed teardrop in your palm. Beneath its soft, sticky glutinous rice flour skin—often dyed a gentle pink—sits a savory filling of glutinous rice, peanuts, mushrooms, and shallots, all steamed together into a unified, tender bite. Shaped with a wooden mould before steaming, it's a cake that demands respect for its craft and patience.
