Many people are curious about donkey rolls just because of its name. Let’s talk about the calorie content of donkey rolls.

Donkey rolls are one of the traditional snacks in old Beijing. The finished product is distinctly yellow, white and red, and is very beautiful. It is named "Lu Da Gun" because the soybean flour sprinkled on it in the final production process looks like the yellow earth kicked up by wild donkeys rolling around in the suburbs of old Beijing. The ingredients of "Ludagun" include rhubarb rice flour, soybean flour, granulated sand, sugar, sesame oil, osmanthus, green and red silk and melon seeds. Its production is divided into three steps: blank making, stuffing mixing and shaping. The finished "Donkey Roll" has a golden outer layer covered with bean flour, sweet bean filling, and is soft and unique in flavor. It is a traditional snack suitable for all ages.

Its raw material is yellow rice flour steamed with water. When kneading the dough, add a little more water to make it softer. In addition, fry the soybeans and then roll them into flour. When making it, dip the steamed yellow rice flour in soybean flour and roll it into a sheet. Then spread it with red bean paste (brown sugar can also be used), roll it up, cut it into small pieces of about 100 grams, and sprinkle with white sugar. When making it, the filling must be rolled evenly, with distinct layers and a yellow appearance. It is fragrant, sweet, sticky, and has a strong soybean powder aroma. Bean flour cake is made from soybean flour as its main ingredient, so it is called bean flour cake. But why is it also called "Lu Da Gun"? It seems to be a figurative metaphor. After it is made, it is rolled in soybean flour, like a real donkey rolling in the countryside, raising dust, hence the name. Even our predecessors have questioned this. "Yandu Snacks Miscellaneous Poems" says: "The brown sugar filling is cleverly arranged, and the yellow noodles are rolled into a ball and buried in the beans. Why is it called "Lu Da Gun"? The name is almost humorous." It also says: "Soybean and glutinous rice are steamed, wrapped with brown sugar filling, rolled in fried bean noodles, and sold on a plate. The name "Lu Da Gun" is really incredible."
