Eyebrow bean cake is a Han Chinese pastry snack from Dongguan. The main ingredient of the cake is glutinous rice, but it doesn't have the overly sticky texture commonly found in glutinous rice products. It is very palatable and breaks apart easily in the mouth. The flavor is unique due to the addition of eyebrow beans and sesame. The recipe for eyebrow bean cake is simple, made by boiling fresh eyebrow beans with glutinous rice flour and other spices. The top is sprinkled with sesame seeds that have been fried with sesame oil, making it very tasty. This snack has been named one of the famous snacks in Guangdong.
