Chun Ai Cake

Overview

I went fishing with my family in the countryside on the weekend. The field ridges beside the fish pond were covered with tender green mugwort. My friend and I worked together to pick it for a while, and then we filled a small bag with mugwort leaves. While picking, my friend told me how to make mugwort cakes and tips, which gave me a lot of knowledge. . . When passing through a banana forest, I picked a piece of banana leaf from the local materials. It was a perfect leaf mat for making moxa cakes. It prevents sticking and adds flavor. The harvest is not small, and I came back with a full load~ I have always known that mugwort leaves can be used to make various delicacies, but this is the first time that I have actually made mugwort cakes. After all, I am a foodie with some knowledge. The making process is easy and of course delicious!
